Drive for a switching device

摘要

In order to further develop a drive (1) for a switching device, which has a contact system (3) made of a fixed contact (4) and a moving contact (5), having a force initiation element (11) for initiating a drive force and an actuator (12) for actuating the moving contact (5) to close or open the contact system (3) and transmission means (13) arranged between the force initiation element (11) and the actuator (12), which drive is cost-effective and has a compact design, according to the invention the transmission means (13) are designed so that both the transferring of the contact system (3) from the closed to the open state and the transferring of the contact system (3) from the open to the closed state can be triggered by a drive force in the same direction.
