Abstract
A highly automated torque magnetometer has been designed, mainly for measuring standard sized rock samples. By employing two hinges of crossed leaf-springs it was possible to integrate a stepper motor in the sample holder for the rotation of the specimen in the external magnetic field. The dynamic range of the instrument covers the torque signals of most rock types. Additionally the instrument is able to measure the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of monocrystals.
