To provide a dust remover capable of accurately setting the position of an adhesive roller by smoothly guiding the adhesive roller in the vertical direction.

The dust remover for removing dust attaching to the surface of a workpiece while transferring the workpiece includes: the adhesive roller 4 for adsorbing the dust attaching to the surface of the workpiece; a tape holder for holding an adhesive tape roll to which the dust stuck on the adhesive roller 4 is transferred; a driving motor for rotationally driving the adhesive roller 4; a driving-side magnet member 37 connected to the driving motor; a driven-side magnet member 38 connected to the adhesive roller 4 and disposed to face the driving-side magnet member 37 at a prescribed distance apart; a transmission mechanism 30 that transmits the rotation of the driving motor to the adhesive roller 4 in a contactless state; a linear shaft 41 disposed on the driven side and extending in the direction orthogonal to the direction of the rotation axis of the adhesive roller 4; and a linear bush 42 that guides the adhesive roller 4 in the direction orthogonal to the direction of its rotation axis by traveling along the axial direction of the linear shaft 41 while contacting the linear shaft 41.
