Rotating electric machine

A rotating electric machine comprising:

• a stator having a stator winding;
• and
• a rotor facing the stator in a radial direction, wherein
• the rotor includes:
• a carrier having a disk-shaped end plate section fixed to a rotating shaft and arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft;
• and an annular magnet unit arranged coaxially with the rotating shaft,
• the magnet unit includes a cylindrical magnet holder of which one end in an axial direction is fixed to the end plate section;
• and a magnet fixed to a peripheral surface on a stator side in the radial direction in the magnet holder and having an alternating polarity in a circumferential direction,
• the magnet holder is made of a non-magnetic material having a specific gravity smaller than a specific gravity of iron,
• in the magnet, an orientation of an axis of easy magnetization on a q-axis is deviated from an orientation parallel to the q-axis,
• the carrier is made of a magnetic material,
• the end plate section and the magnet are separated by a first distance in the axial direction,
• the stator has a cylindrical stator core assembled on an opposite-to-rotor side in the radial direction in the stator winding, and
• a second distance in the radial direction between the peripheral surface of the stator core on a side facing the rotor and the peripheral surface of the magnet on a side facing the stator is smaller than the first distance.
