Patent attributes
In an axial gap motor including a rotor and a stator placed apart in a direction of a rotation axis with respect to the rotor, the stator is formed by combination of a plurality of divided pieces containing cores and yokes in a circumferential direction of the rotation axis. A first end portion in the circumferential direction of a first divided piece as one of the divided pieces has a convex portion projecting in the circumferential direction and a second end portion of a second divided piece in contact with the first end portion has a concave portion fitted with the convex portion, and the convex portion is provided in a position apart from a side portion of the first divided piece along the circumferential direction in a radial direction.
