A hydraulic machine includes a first member (1) having a first structure (2) for a hydraulic medium opening in a first interface surface (3) and a second member having a second structure for the hydraulic medium opening in a second interface surface is described, the first interface surface (3) being in contact with the second interface surface, wherein at least one of the members (1) is provided with a support element (6) surrounding the member (1). Such a machine should have a good efficiency. To this end the support element (6) has a strength varying in circumferential direction around the member (1) and/or in thickness direction in a middle region of the member (1).
