A bearing chamber housing () for bearing a shaft () of a turbomachine (), including a housing outer shell () that delimits an oil chamber () of the bearing chamber housing () radially outwardly in relation to a rotational axis () of the shaft (), and a housing inner shell () for bearing the shaft (). The housing inner shell () is radially connected to the housing outer shell () via support ribs () that in each case extend axially, at least in part, and the housing inner shell (), the housing outer shell (), and two support ribs () that are next-adjacent to one another jointly delimit a cavity () that is axially open at the rear, and thus lead into a rear opening (). The rear opening (), viewed in tangential sections, has a clearance () in each case that constitutes at least 50% of a circumferential distance () between the next-adjacent support ribs ().
