Abstract
A housing for a gear mechanism, in particular a planetary gear mechanism, includes at least one gear-mechanism housing part that has at least one structure configured to reinforce the housing. The housing further includes at least one shaft mounted in the housing and gear-mechanism gearwheels. The housing is optimized with regard to its weight and its strength by virtue of the structure configured to reinforce the housing. The structure is configured as one or more of an undulating structure oriented in the circumferential direction of the gear-mechanism housing part and a bead structure oriented in the radial direction of the gear-mechanism housing part.
