TBK 2.0

TBK is a comprehensive calculation and design software for machine elements and drive systems, developed by GWJ Technology GmbH. It helps mechanical engineers size, verify, and optimize components such as shafts, bearings, gears, bolted and keyed joints, springs, and belt or chain drives, as well as complete gearboxes. With a modular structure, TBK enables targeted workflows that align with established engineering practices and commonly used international standards.

Key capabilities:

• Component and system calculations: From individual parts to multi-stage gearboxes and shaft systems.
• Standards-based methods: Supports calculations according to widely used standards and guidelines (for example, ISO, DIN, AGMA, VDI).
• Optimization tools: Automated dimensioning, safety and service-life checks, and sensitivity studies to balance performance, cost, and weight.
• Material and component libraries: Built-in data sets with options for user-defined entries.
• Load handling: Static, dynamic, and load spectrum inputs for realistic operating conditions.
• CAD-friendly outputs: Geometry data and detailed calculation reports to streamline documentation and downstream CAD/PLM workflows.
• Reporting and traceability: Clear, professional documentation for design reviews, audits, and quality assurance.

TBK is suited for design offices, machinery and gearbox manufacturers, and R&D teams seeking reliable, standards-aligned calculations, faster design iterations, and consistent documentation. It brings rigor and efficiency to power transmission and general mechanical design, helping teams reduce risk and deliver robust, well-documented solutions.
