An electric braking device for vehicle comprising: an electric motor disposed on a wheel side of a vehicle; a caliper disposed on the wheel side; a pressing member disposed on the caliper and pressing a friction member against a rotating member rotating integrally with the wheel; a power transmission member (INP, SFT) rotatably supported on the caliper and rotationally driven with the electric motor to drive the pressing member; a ratchet wheel fixed to the power transmission member (INP, SFT); a pawl member which is disposed to be able to move in a first linear direction with reference to the caliper and can be interlocked with the ratchet wheel; a guide member serving as a part of the caliper or fixed to the caliper and guiding movement of the pawl member in the first linear direction; a solenoid having a fixed member (BAS, COL) fixed to the caliper and a movable member (PLN, PBR) disposed to be able to move in the first linear direction with reference to the fixed member (BAS, COL) and engaged with the pawl member being independent of the movable member, the solenoid causing the movable member (PLN, PBR) to press the pawl member in an on state in an interlocking direction (Dts) in which the pawl member in the first linear direction comes close to the ratchet wheel; and an elastic member always pressing the pawl member in a release direction (Dtr) opposing the interlocking direction (Dts) in the first linear direction, characterized in that an offset distance (Los) between a first plane which passes through a rotating axis (Jrc) of the ratchet wheel and is parallel to the interlocking direction (Dts) and a second plane which passes through an addendum (Phs) representing a distal end of a tooth of the ratchet wheel and is parallel to the interlocking direction (Dts), when the ratchet wheel is rotated in a direction in which a pressing force decreases, is set within a range of 10% to 70% of a value calculated by multiplying a radius (Rrc) of the ratchet wheel and a sine value of an angle (α) between one arm represented by an interlocked surface formed by a contact portion (Stm) of the pawl member and the ratchet wheel and another arm represented by the interlocking direction (Dts). an electric motor disposed on a wheel side of a vehicle; a caliper disposed on the wheel side; a pressing member disposed on the caliper and pressing a friction member against a rotating member rotating integrally with the wheel; a power transmission member (INP, SFT) rotatably supported on the caliper and rotationally driven with the electric motor to drive the pressing member; a ratchet wheel fixed to the power transmission member (INP, SFT); a pawl member which is disposed to be able to move in a first linear direction with reference to the caliper and can be interlocked with the ratchet wheel; a guide member serving as a part of the caliper or fixed to the caliper and guiding movement of the pawl member in the first linear direction; a solenoid having a fixed member (BAS, COL) fixed to the caliper and a movable member (PLN, PBR) disposed to be able to move in the first linear direction with reference to the fixed member (BAS, COL) and engaged with the pawl member being independent of the movable member, the solenoid causing the movable member (PLN, PBR) to press the pawl member in an on state in an interlocking direction (Dts) in which the pawl member in the first linear direction comes close to the ratchet wheel; and an elastic member always pressing the pawl member in a release direction (Dtr) opposing the interlocking direction (Dts) in the first linear direction, characterized in that an offset distance (Los) between a first plane which passes through a rotating axis (Jrc) of the ratchet wheel and is parallel to the interlocking direction (Dts) and a second plane which passes through an addendum (Phs) representing a distal end of a tooth of the ratchet wheel and is parallel to the interlocking direction (Dts), when the ratchet wheel is rotated in a direction in which a pressing force decreases, is set within a range of 10% to 70% of a value calculated by multiplying a radius (Rrc) of the ratchet wheel and a sine value of an angle (α) between one arm represented by an interlocked surface formed by a contact portion (Stm) of the pawl member and the ratchet wheel and another arm represented by the interlocking direction (Dts).
