For safety reasons, the magnetic forces appearing on an instrument when using a cryomagnet are measured before using a new system or after a modification of the instrument. These measurements are mandatory. The conditions in which a cryomagnet can be used are determined from these measurements and reported in the Safety section.

The vertical force is simply obtained from a dynanometer installed on the crane. The horizontal force is measured with 3 piezo sensors oriented at 120° and attached to both the cryomagnet and the sample table. The magnitude and direction of this horizontal force are calculated and displayed on a Eurotherm controller.
