A rotating electric machine in which an adequate magnetic supporting force can be produced even when the gap length of the rotator is long. The rotating electric machine comprises a rotator (31) mounted on the main shaft and a stator so provided as to enclose the rotator. The rotator has a first rotator section (32) producing a torque in the circumferential direction of the main shaft or the torque and the supporting force and a second rotator section (33) producing a shaft supporting force outward in the radial direction of the main shaft. The first and second rotator sections are arranged in tandem along the main shaft.
