Abstract: In order to provide a rotating electric machine which reduces vibration, noise and temperature rise and eases assembling work thereof through an improvement of a frame structure and a securing method between a stator iron core and the frame. In a rotating electric machine comprising a stator iron core 6 having a stator winding, a frame 1 having intermediate plates 2 for securing the stator iron core 6 to the frame 1, a rotor iron core 5 having a rotor winding, the intermediate plates (brackets) 2 which rotatably support the rotor at both sides in the frame axial direction under the condition of accommodating the stator iron core 6 and the rotor iron core 5 in the frame 1, cooling fans 4 for ventilation through rotation together with a rotor shaft 3, and a shaft portion extending from the brackets for directly coupling to a load, wherein, the securing between the frame 1 and the stator iron core 6 is performed by a welding structure at a welding portion 9.
