A disc-type commutator is mounted on a rear end surface of an armature of an electrical rotating machine. Plural commutator segments are radially arranged around a rotating shaft, separated from one another by radially extending commutator gaps. A width of the commutator gap is gradually widened along a radial direction of the commutator, so that foreign particles, such as swarfs or brush dusts, entered in the commutator gap are removed by a centrifugal force generated in rotation of the armature. Further, the width of the commutator gap may be gradually widened along its depth direction so that the width becomes wider at its open end that at its closed end.
