Contact bounce reduction system

A contact bounce reduction system comprising:

• a movable member, and
• a contact bounce damping device comprising:
• a body,
• a first ball and a second ball arranged in the body,
• a first resilient member and a second resilient member,
• a piston partly arranged in and extending from the body, the piston being configured to be moved linearly between a default extended position and a retracted position relative to the body, and wherein the piston has a radial seat configured to partly receive the first ball and the second ball,
• wherein the first resilient member is configured to act with a radial force onto the first ball to hold the first ball in the seat when the piston is in the default extended position,
• wherein the second resilient member is configured to act with a radial force onto the second ball to hold the second ball in the seat when the piston is in the default extended position, and
• a third resilient member configured to bias the piston towards the default extended position;
• wherein the movable member is configured to move from a non-contact position relative to the piston to contact the piston and actuate the piston from the default extended position towards the retracted position with a force greater than a threshold value, causing the first ball and the second ball to move radially out from the seat, and the third resilient member to accumulate energy, and
• the contact bounce reduction system further comprising a contact ring slidably arranged around the piston, and a fixed contact member electrically connected to the contact ring.
