The problem is to provide an axial gap motor using non-rare-earth magnets, as an axial gap motor capable of suppressing reduction in magnet torque and increasing reluctance torque. A solution to the problem is given by an axial gap motor 10, which has a rotor 11, and a pair of stators 21 arranged opposite to the rotor 11 so that the rotor 11 is sandwiched between the stators through a gap G in a direction of rotation axis 11a of the rotor 11, in which the rotor 11 has a plurality of non-rare-earth magnets 13 arranged as separated from each other along a circumferential direction around the rotation axis 11a, and a plurality of magnetic members 15 arranged through a non-magnetic member 17c or the like between the plurality of non-rare-earth magnets 13, in which the magnetic permeability of the plurality of magnetic members 15 is larger than that of the plurality of non-rare-earth magnets 13, and in which the plurality of non-rare-earth magnets 13 and the plurality of magnetic members 15 define opposite faces 11S of the rotor 11 to the pair of stators 21. |
