Although there has been extensive research on modeling, estimation, and control of these electromechanical systems, a gap remains in the analysis area. This article addresses this gap by presenting an equilibrium and stability analysis to gain deeper insight into their bistability. This analysis leverages a hybrid dynamical model to obtain analytical expressions that relate the physical parameters to the switching conditions. These expressions are useful, e.g., for fundamental understanding, quick analyses, or design optimization. The results are discussed in depth and potential practical applications are explored. Finally, the analysis is validated with experimental results from a real device. 000147718 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/AEI/CPP2021-008938$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/AEI/TED2021-130224B-I00$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T45-23R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU14-04171$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-AEI-FEDER/PID2021-124137OB-I00 000147718 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000147718 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000147718 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8977-5296$$aSagues, Carlos$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000147718 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3032-954X$$aMoya-Lasheras, Eduardo$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000147718 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7646-9863$$aSerrano-Seco, Eloy$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000147718 7102_ $$15007$$2520$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
