Claim:
A gear housing with a gear unit with a housing base body ( 4 ), with a housing cover ( 3 ) secured to the housing base body ( 4 ) by means of a plurality of retaining clips ( 6 ) made of spring steel which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and with a ring seal ( 20 ) which is arranged between the housing base body ( 4 ) and the housing cover ( 3 ) and which is pressed against a bearing region ( 24 ) of the housing base body ( 4 ), characterized in that the radial extension (y) of the bearing region ( 24 ) is smaller than the radial extension (x, x′) of the ring seal ( 20 ), and characterized in that the ring seal ( 20 ) is designed as an extruded profile, wherein the ring seal ( 20 ) defines a non-mounted width and a mounted width, and wherein the mounted width is greater than the non-mounted width as a result of the bearing region ( 24 ) pressing against the ring seal ( 20 ) in a mounted state causing the radial extension (x, x′) of the ring seal ( 20 ) to broaden.
