A newly designed macroscopic silicon cantilever for capacitive torque magnetometry has been developed and tested. It is based on torsion arms in order to obtain better damping against external vibrations than with ordinary cantilevers of similar size but anchored on one side. With the appropriate electronics and proper mechanical environment a torque resolution of Delta tau ~ 5x10**-13 Nm can be achieved.
