PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a segmenting device of a disk-like component capable of easily and rapidly discriminating face and back sides of the disk-like component and correcting directions of the face and back sides thereof, and feeding the disk-like components in a constantly face-up state to an object for installation. SOLUTION: In the segmenting device 1 of the disk-like component 81, where the plurality of disk-like components 81 are stored in a stocker 2, the disk-like component 81 with a small diameter part 811 in an upwardly facing state is defined as the face-up state A, and the disk-like component 81 with the small diameter part 811 in a downwardly facing state is defined as the face-down state. The disk-like component 81 in the face-up state A slides down on a starting side sliding path 51, drops between a pair of slide discriminating members 52, and maintains the face-up state A. On the other hand, the disk-like component 81 in the face-down state slides down on the starting side sliding path 51, and moves straight on the pair of slide discriminating members 52, and is inverted in the face-up state A when sliding down a U-turn sliding path 53.
