Abstract
In a rotating electric machine, a field element includes: a circular annular magnet portion that includes magnetic poles of which polarities alternate in a circumferential direction; and a cylindrical magnet holding portion where the magnet portion is fixed on an inner circumferential surface of the magnet portion. An armature is arranged to oppose the magnet portion on an inner side in a radial direction of the magnet portion. The magnet portion includes circular-arc-shaped magnets arranged in an array in the circumferential direction. In each magnet, both end surfaces in the circumferential direction are along the radial direction and in contact with a magnet adjacent in the circumferential direction. The magnet holding portion is reduced in size such that, in a state where the magnets are arrayed in the circumferential direction, an outer circumference of the magnets is reduced from an outer side toward an inner side in the radial direction.
