The invention relates to an apparatus for casting a conductor of a cage rotor of an induction motor. A rotor core (13) comprising a laminated steel sheets is housed in a recess portion of a casting mold, an upper end portion thereof is held by a holding portion (70) and molten metal is supplied into a plurality of slots formed in the rotor core, thereby forming a plurality of conductor rods and a pair of end rings connecting the ends of the conductor rods with one another. The holding portion (70) comprises a cup (72) and a cylinder (73), and an axial dimension of the cup (72) is selected in correspondence to an axial dimension of the rotor core (13) housed in the recess portion of the casting mold. Further, by using a double cylinder (77, 79) in the holding portion (70), a rotor having higher quality can be obtained. For this reason, the same conductor casting apparatus can be used for casting the conductor of the rotor having different axial lengths and qualities depending on specifications. <IMAGE> |
