A rotor for a rotating electric machine includes a rotor winding arranged for conjoint rotation on a rotor shaft, and a slip ring body arranged on an axial end of the rotor shaft and having an end face on an axial end of the slip ring body opposite to the rotor winding. The slip ring body includes connection adapters which project axially beyond the end face of the slip ring body for connection of line ends of the rotor winding. A driver unit for a rotary encoder is fastened to the end face of the slip ring body and/or to the axial end of the rotor shaft and electrically insulated from the connection adapters. A centrifugal force support ring is arranged on the end face of the slip ring body such that the connection adapters and the driver unit are arranged in a through-opening of the centrifugal force support ring.
