The invention discloses a rack driving type dished magneto-rheological damper comprising a double-faced rack (9) with a pulling rod (93), a force transmitting guide frame (2), a first passive gear (81), second passive gears (82) (the code numbers in the figure both are 81), a first working disk cavity, a second working disk cavity, a first U-shaped electromagnet (31) and a second U-shaped electromagnet (32). According to the rack driving type dished magneto-rheological damper, vibrating linear motion can be transformed into rotating of moving disks, and the rotating moving disks cut a magneto-rheological fluid to produce damping force. Meanwhile, the sizes of the external electromagnets are not limited, a large magnetic field can be provided, the adjustable coefficient of the magneto-rheological damper can be increased, and application and popularization of the magneto-rheological damper are facilitated.
