The invention relates to an electromagnetic coil winding apparatus. The winding apparatus comprises bases, a scissors mechanism, a winding shaft, support shafts, a transmission shaft, a pretightening mechanism, a cable pushing mechanism and a driving part. The transmission shaft rotates to drive a reel to rotate, and drives a cable supply framework to rotate relative to the winding shaft through a cable and to perform winding on the reel. The electromagnetic coil winding apparatus is simple in structure, can achieve that no interval exists in the winding process. The winding is tight at any time and the winding interval is controllable. Pretightening force is applied to the cable supply framework by the pretightening mechanism, as a result, the cable is in tight contact with the outer surface of the reel. Moreover, the electromagnetic coil winding apparatus can ensure that the cable is tightly wound and moderate pretightening force is existent, thereby ensuring the reasonable slot filling factor, improving the winding height, lowering the defective rate of the electromagnetic coil in the winding process and improving the production efficiency.
