A housing cover for closing an open side of a housing includes a dish-shaped sheet metal cover body provided with a central opening for the passage of a shaft; a bottom plate forming part of the cover body and having opposite first and second radial surfaces; and a plurality of spaced holes in the bottom plate for providing passages for respective bolts, each having a bolt head with an underface, for securing the cover body to the housing. In an installed state of the housing cover, the first radial surface of the bottom plate is oriented towards the housing and the second radial surface of the bottom plate is oriented towards the underface of the respective bolt. The housing cover further has a static sealing strip supported on the first radial surface for engagement with a housing face in an installed state of the housing cover on the housing; and a sheet metal insert connected to the sheet metal body and being in a face-to-face engagement with one of the radial surfaces of the bottom plate in a region of the holes for the bolts.
