Thank you, yes you are right. The magnet is trying to flip over. We can play with low friction coatings and modified surface geometries to reduce contact area.

We have a device that uses opposing magnets to transfer force from an object to a sensor. The object is attached to a ring magnet. The ring magnet is kept in its vertical axis through a guide rod. The other magnet, a disc magnet, is attached to a sensor.
The problem is: the off-axis force...
