Metals are used in most switch gear because they are good condectors of electricity and are durable. Carbon would also works well and is less likely to fuse together but it less ductile and more likely to fail because of fategue.

What was a kanabo?
The kanabō (metallic staff) is an iron or steel staff used in feudal Japan (the Samaurai) as a weapon. It was constructed out of heavy oak wood, and covered with some form of metal from the end to the middle, with metal studs along the metal-shod end. Later versions were made entirely out of metal, but shorter. It was this later version that many popular pictures of Japanese demons carry. It was usually a very heavy weapon. When used, the purpose of the kanabō was to smash enemies' armor and break their warhorses' legs. The art of using this cumbersome weapon, kanabō-jutsu, consisted of a mastery of both balance and strength.

What is a proximity contact?
A proximity contact is one component of a proximity switch. These types of switches are used in positions where limit switches would not have enough room to operate. There is an internal circuit in the head of the proximity switch that can sense the presence of a metallic object. When sensing a metallic object the internal circuity energizes a relay that closes the proximity's contacts. The contacts are in the C class form which consists of a common and one normally open and one normally closed contact.
