Explanation:
In plain English:

La figure 10 montre un exemple d'aimant monté sur un support curviligne avec une sonde qui mesure la composante x (tangentielle) et la composant Y (normal) sur une course suivant le support.
-->
Fig. 10 shows an example of a magnet mounted on a curved support and a sensor that measures the x (tangential) and y (normal) components as it (the magnet) travels along the support.

I imagine the illustration shows the 'support' to be some kind of curved guide rail.

along a travel that follows the support / mount


Explanation:
You give us pretty little to go on in the way of context, but that is the bare essential of the meaning.

The exact translation of 'support' will depend on exactly what form it takes; likewise, 'that follows' might need to be modified according to the precise way these elements are arranged.
