A rotational machine includes a shaft, a rotary member rotatably mounted on the shaft with a bearing fitted between the shaft and the rotary member, an oil seal for sealing the bearing to prevent leakage of lubricant from inside the bearing through its axial end onto a surface of the rotary member, a brake which comes into sliding contact with a contact surface area formed on the surface of the rotary member for arresting rotation of the rotary member, a supporting member fixedly mounted on the shaft face to face with the rotary member forming a gap therebetween, the gap serving as a fluid path through which the lubricant which has leaked over the oil seal is allowed to flow, and an oil stop portion formed at a location in the gap between the oil seal and the contact surface area for impeding flow of the leaked lubricant.
