Abstract

A rotor for electric rotating machines has a plurality of salient poles arranged in spaced relation in axial direction on the outer periphery of the rotor rim. Adjacent salient poles have opposed slots in the axial direction, into which a shielding member is fitted to bridge between said adjacent poles. The shielding member includes a plurality of rod members fitted over the entire length of said slots to extend across said opposed slots. While the rotor is running, the centrifugal force acts on each of said rod members thereby pressing the rod members against the outer periphery side wall of the slot. As a result, the centrifugal force is dispersed substantially uniformly over the entire length of the slot wall.
