The invention provides an electromagnetic braking device. In the hoister of the elevator, the retaining force between an elastic member and an armature can be maintained at a proper level and the elastic member can be conveniently replaced. The electromagnetic braking device (1) includes a brake boot (2) being in slide contact with a brake drum, an armature (3) for supporting the brake boot (2), a brake spring (4) for pushing the brake boot (2) in the braking direction by pressing the armature (3), an electromagnetic iron core (6) and a rod member (7). The electromagnetic iron core (6) overcomes the pushing force of the brake spring (4) to attract the armature (3), so that the brake boot (2) leaves away the brake drum, the rod member (7) is arranged in the armature (3) to guide the armature (3) to displace, the electromagnetic braking device (1) further includes a bolt body (8) and an elastic body (9), the bolt body (8) is detachably in threaded engagement with the end, at one side of the brake boot, of the rod member (7), the elastic body (9) is arranged between the bolt body (8) and the armature (3), and the elastic body (9) can change the contact area with the armature (3) along with the spiral feeding and withdraw of the bolt body (8).
