The invention discloses a multi-mode electromagnetic energy-regenerative vehicle active suspension actuator. The multi-mode electromagnetic energy-regenerative vehicle active suspension actuator comprises an actuator main body and an actuator controller, wherein the actuator main body comprises a piston cylinder, a permanent magnet linear motor module, an adjustable damping vibration absorber module, an actuator upper end cover and a lower lifting lug. The permanent magnet linear motor module comprises a secondary piston rod, a linear motor upper end cover, a linear motor lower end cover, a plurality of silicon steel sheets, a plurality of primary coils and a permanent magnet; the adjustable damping vibration absorber module comprises a vibration absorber piston rod, a sleeve, an upper lifting lug, a sealing separation plate, a big piston, a small piston, a damping liquid passage and a proportional electromagnetic valve; and an input end of the actuator controller is connected with an acceleration sensor, a sprung mass speed sensor and an unsprung mass speed sensor. The invention further discloses a control method for the multi-mode electromagnetic energy-regenerative vehicle active suspension actuator. The invention is advantaged in that the energy-regenerative efficiency of the multi-mode electromagnetic energy-regenerative vehicle active suspension actuator is high, the service life of a vehicle-mounted storage battery can be effectively prolonged and an active suspension is in an optimal vibration absorbing state.
