The electric rotating machine includes a stator having an inner hole, a rotor disposed in the inner hole of the stator with a gap with an inner periphery of the stator and formed with magnet housing holes each housing a permanent magnet as a magnetic pole embedded in the outer periphery of the rotor, and a shaft pressure-inserted into a center hole of the rotor. The rotor includes, for each adjacent two of the magnet housing holes, a beam portion formed radially outside the magnet housing holes, a projecting portion projecting radially inward to define the center hole, an extension portion formed radially outside the projecting portion and radially outside the magnet holes, and a plate-shaped bridge portion connecting the beam portion and the extension portion.
