1. A braking device comprising: an actuatable member, an electromagnetic coil having at least two coil windings, which can be energized independently of one another and which are each designed to generate a magnetic force for the actuatable member in an actuating direction in the energized state, and a resetting element, which exerts a force on the actuatable member in a resetting direction opposite to the actuating direction, wherein the at least two coil windings and the resetting element are designed in such a way that the magnitude of a total magnetic force of all the coil windings exceeds the magnitude of the force of the resetting element only when all the coil windings are energized simultaneously and wherein the at least two coil windings and the resetting element are designed in such a way that a magnitude of the total magnetic force of all the coil windings falls below the magnitude of the force of the resetting element if only one of the coil windings is not energized.
