Axial-gap rotating electric machine

Abstract

An axial gap type dynamo-electric machine (1) comprises: a stator (2) provided with a magnetic core (21) and an exciting coil (22); a rotor (3) provided with a plurality of permanent magnets (4) circumferentially arranged around a rotation center axis (AX), the rotor (3) being also provided with a disk-shaped base material (31) for supporting the permanent magnets, the rotor (3) being disposed at an axial distance from the stator (2); and affixation members (5) for affixing the permanent magnets (4) to the base material (31). The permanent magnets (4) are provided with front surfaces facing the stator (2), rear surfaces facing the base material, and engagement-receiving sections (412, 422, 432) formed at peripheral edges of the permanent magnets (4). The affixation members (5) include: engagement sections (512) engaging the engagement-receiving sections; and affixation sections (511) forming mechanical affixation structures relative to the base material.
