<p>An at least partially conductive armature (100) for use in a switch element (10) is disclosed, where operation of the switch element (10) is based on generation of a magnetic force on the armature (100), e.g. between the armature (100) and a magnetic field generator (200),so as to effect movement of the armature (100). The armature (100) comprises an elongated member(101) having a longitudinal axis (A) and an armature head (102) arranged at one end of the elongated member (101). According to embodiments of the present invention the armature (100) has a shape similar to that of a mushroom, which allows for quick acceleration of the armature (100) with a relatively high efficiency in operation of the switch element(10). By the particular shape or form of the armature(100), tensile stresses in the armature(100) can be redistributed into compressive stresses, reducing or minimizing any deformation of the armature(100).</p> |
