Someone found that highly polished alluminium acts like a mirror to magnetism so the rail for the monorail ( highly polished alluminium ), was simply repelling the electromagnets on the train, placed above and below the rail allowing the monorail to hover in place.
Maybe if your axle was polished alluminium placed inside a ring magnet, as a bearing, ( taken say from a magnetron inside a microwave ), this would hover in the centre!
Hope this helps.!!!
Keep free information free!!!

To fix a flywheel in mid air without friction, you could perhaps use
the princips from a levitron. ( See www.levitron.com ).
If the hoovering magnet is rotatet VERY fast, it will contain a HUGE
amount of energy.
This should be done under ( total ) vacuum, to avoid the air friction.
If there is placed cupper coil around the " flywheel " , you are
allmost there.

Maybe it is not possible to have a single ended magnetic suspension (like a coin hovering over a magnet) without a super conductor. But what about a two-ended magnetic suspension? (like with my first example above with the <xxxx> shaped axle?)

In contradiction to that I was thinking about it and had the idea to use a unipolar <+xxxx+> axle (just like this image with the arrow brackets) where the + signifies both North Pole ( or South).
Now take this axle and suspend it between two cups +<.......>+
like that:
+<<+xxxx+>>+
since the axle should have sharp pointed ends that should sit INSIDE equally sculptured cups from which they repell, my thought was that it should hover between the cups without mechanical contact.
This is what I would try out.
Maybe I am wrong with my idea?
Likewise I was thinking of an ALL Unipolar magnet. Of course it is not(?) possible to magnetize a ball with North outside and South inside, because you cannot put a counterpole into the ball for magnetization and remove it afterwords. But you could glue many smaller cone-like pieces together (all of them magnetized in the same direction) that in the end become a ball. Then you have a magnetic unipolar. (although it will NOT be easy to get them glued together. They will shrapnell apart as soon as you let go
Is there a possibility to "freeze" magnetism? I mean, change temperature so that a magnet becomes inactive, then glue it together and make it active again by returning to original temperature ?
Physicists wanted!
