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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/AEI/CPP2021-008938 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EUR/AEI/TED2021-130224B-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T45-23R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU14-04171 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-AEI-FEDER/PID2021-124137OB-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Sagues, Carlos Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8977-5296 Moya-Lasheras, Eduardo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3032-954X Serrano-Seco, Eloy Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-7646-9863 5007 520 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
