Opposing magnets, how to minimize off axis force?
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. -Greg- WinePod

Thanks, to answer your questions: the guide rod is non magnetic. -Greg- WinePod

Opposing magnets, how to minimize off axis force?
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...- WinePod
