AXIAL GAP TYPE ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE

Provided is an axial gap type rotating electric machine in which the distance between the stator-facing surface of a permanent magnet constituting a rotor and a stator can be uniformed even if distortion and unevenness caused by a processing error are present in a rotor base, the permanent magnet, and the like. The axial gap type rotating electric machine is provided with a stator and at least one rotor facing the stator with a predetermined air gap interposed therebetween in the rotating shaft direction and is characterized in that: the rotor is provided with a rotor base, a magnet attached to the rotor base, and a connection member for connecting the magnet to the rotor base; the surface of the magnet facing the stator is vertical to the rotational axis line of the rotor; and the thickness of the connection member in the rotating shaft direction varies on the magnet-attached surface of the rotor base so that the surface of the magnet facing the stator becomes vertical to the rotational axis line of the rotor.
