An electromagnetic clutch includes a first magnetic member with a large-diameter cylindrical portion made of a magnetic metal and a second magnetic member with a small-diameter cylindrical portion made of a magnetic metal and contained in the large-diameter cylindrical portion are joined to an annular member of a non-magnetic material interposed between the large and small-diameter cylindrical portions to constitute a magnetic path forming member. The outer and inner circumferential edges of the annular member are welded to the large-diameter cylindrical portion and the small-diameter cylindrical portion, with the front end surface of the annular member receding a second predetermined distance (L2) from the front end surfaces of the large and small-diameter cylindrical portions. Then, the front end surfaces of the large and small-diameter cylindrical portions are cut until the receded distance of the front end surface of the annular member becomes a first predetermined distance (L1).
