Based on a simple mechanical pendulum design, we developed a sensor for measurement of the horizontal force on a permanent magnet placed at any distance above a high‐Tc superconductor. In this fully computerized system, which employs closed‐loop feedback control, the lateral interaction with its restoring and hysteretic nature can be studied under conditions of constant vertical separation. Results are presented for the case of a small Nd‐Fe‐B magnet at a distance of 1 mm above a large planar disk of a YBa2Cu3Ox superconductor.
