To provide an axial gap motor with a stator and a rotor formed by dust cores that is compact and light, can be manufactured easily, and produces a larger motor output.

The stator 4 includes each stator core 5 of the dust core arranged circumferentially with a gap in a magnetically independent state, a magnetic pole 7 at an outside-diameter side is formed by each radial outside-diameter side portion on the front and rear of each stator core 5, and a magnetic pole 8 at an inside-diameter side is formed by a radial inside-diameter side portion. Further, a cassette coil 10 is attached to a yoke unit 9 between the magnetic poles 7, 8 of each stator core 5, and a pair of magnetic poles 11 on the front and rear of each stator core 5 is excited collectively, thus providing the new axial gap motor 1a that is compact and light, can be manufactured easily, and produces a larger motor output.
