The present disclosure is an electromagnetic force control method of a magnetic disk type negative stiffness electromagnetic actuator. The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vibration control. According to the actually required static bearing capacity, the present disclosure determines the positive stiffness k of a mechanical spring required for a magnetic disk type quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator; and establishes an electromagnetic force mathematical model of a single electromagnet under a condition of magnetic unsaturation. The present disclosure aims at the magnetic disk type quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator and takes the coil current as an input control variable, so that the electromagnetic force and displacement of the negative stiffness electromagnetic actuator have a linear relationship, thereby changing the non-linear nature of a vibration isolation system, avoiding the multi-stable phenomenon caused by the non-linear electromagnetic force during working, and eliminating complex dynamic behaviors such as jumping when the whole vibration isolator works. Complex sensors and control systems are not needed, and implementation manners are simple and convenient.
