The machine locking system is an important device for the safety of persons using the machine. Therefore, the locking system using electromagnetic fields was proposed to decrease defects, the cost of repairing and maintenance for the existing locking system using structural mechanism. We analyze the EM locking system and calculate the generated force by the finite element method. The optimal topology is obtained by the sensitivity analysis. And the obtained optimal topology is confirmed the improved design comparing with the initial locking system.
