Abstract:
1. A rotating electric machine comprising: a rotation axis extending along a first direction; a first rotor for coupling with the rotation axis to rotate together with the rotation axis; a first stator disposed so as to oppose the first rotor while being spaced apart from the first rotor along the first direction; and a moving mechanism for moving the first rotor along the first direction in order to change relative positions of the first rotor and the first stator to adjust a gap between the first rotor and the first stator, wherein the moving mechanism includes a moving member having a cylindrical shape having a throughhole, the rotation axis being inserted in the throughhole, and the moving member pushes the first rotor along the first direction to move the first rotor so as to be spaced apart from the first stator.
