Something like a couple strips of aluminum or copper that a magnet passes thru. It would be free but no fast motion would be possible and very smooth.
Try passing a magnet very fast past or along a piece of copper or aluminum to feel the effect.
Seen this used on various scales and some roller coasters use it for non contact braking.
Cheers.
