ABSTRACT:
The concept of the invention is based on a machine housing with a bearing housing, the bearing seat of which is connected to a housing wall of the machine housing by a bearing housing wall provided with ribs (42, 43) and is subjected to radially directed forces (11, 44). The proposal is made that the bearing housing wall possess at least one ring shaped annular rib (42) which at least partially encompasses the bearing seat in an area (21), the angle (α) of inclination of which, relative to its original unloaded condition, would change itself to the greatest extent under load (11). Further proposed is that a plurality of additional ribs (43) run transverse to the annular rib (42). Thereby, with a relatively small consumption of material, a good shape-retention is achieved. In addition, a tilting of the bearing seat and the bearing is held to a lesser extent than is the case of conventional bearing housing structures. By the use of shell shaped bearing housings, the bearing housing wall is characterized by a more intensive curvature in the more heavily stressed area (21) than is the case in the area (22) which lies diametrically (with respect to the bearing axis) opposite.
