The invention discloses an elevator traction machine rotor. The elevator traction machine rotor comprises a traction wheel, a hub, a magnet yoke, permanent magnets and non-magnetic metal blocks and ischaracterized in that a plurality of positioning protrusions are distributed on the inner peripheral face of the magnetic yoke, the permanent magnets are tightly connected with the magnetic yoke through grooves, matched with the positioning protrusions, in the permanent magnets, the non-magnetic metal blocks are tightly connected with the magnetic yoke through grooves, matched with the positioning protrusions, in the non-magnetic metal blocks, two ends of each permanent magnet are arc-shaped convex parts, two ends of each non-magnetic metal block are arc-shaped concave parts, one non-magneticmetal block is arranged between every two adjacent permanent magnets, and the permanent magnets and the non-magnetic metal blocks are connected through the coordination of the arc-shaped convex partsand the arc-shaped concave parts. The elevator traction machine rotor has the advantages that the grooves in the permanent magnets and the grooves in the non-magnetic metal blocks are clamped with the positioning protrusions on the magnetic yoke through strong mechanical pressure, so that the connecting firmness between the magnetic yoke and the permanent magnets and the non-magnetic metal blockscan be guaranteed, and the falling off phenomenon of the permanent magnets and the non-magnetic metal blocks is avoided.
