1. A cage rotor, comprising:

  • a rotating shaft,a laminated core having first and second ends formed by accumulating a number of magnetic thin plates, fixedly connected to said rotating shaft,a plurality of conductive rods arranged in a plurality of through holes formed in said laminated core, anda pair of end rings, arranged at both ends of said laminated core in the axial direction, for connecting said conductive rods to one another, whereineach of said end rings has a reinforcing member including a tube-like portion having an inner diameter which is substantially equal to the diameter of a central through hole of said laminated core, an annular end wall extending radially outward from one end of the tube-like portion in the axial direction of the tube-like portion, and an annular engagement wall extending radially outward from the other end of said tube-like portion in the axial direction of the tube-like portion, which are integrally formed;

    the tube-like portion constituting said reinforcing member is interposed between said end rings and said rotating shaft, the annular end wall substantially covering the outer end face of said end rings in the axial direction, and the annular engagement wall is interposed between said laminated core and said end rings.
