1. A part transporting device comprising:
an outer cylinder;
multiple attracting members that are arrayed in a spiral shape about a center axis extending in an axial direction of the outer cylinder, on an inner surface side of the outer cylinder and that form a magnetic field on an outer surface side of the outer cylinder to attract a part to an outer surface of the outer cylinder,
a rotary drive unit configured to rotatably move the attracting members about the center axis; and
a restriction member that restricts rotational movement of the part to move the part axially along the outer surface of the outer cylinder.
