✦ Synopsis

An updated high temperature superconductor maglev measurement system was used to investigate the three-dimensional levitation force and lateral force in the levitation system consisting of a rectangular magnet and a cylindrical superconductor. The optimization levitation region was found at the same levitation height with various displacements in the X-and Y-direction. It was also found that the forces between the magnet and the superconductor show anisotropically in the X-Y plane.
