The invention discloses a magnetic sliding shoe pair for an axial plunger pump and a motor and a control method. The magnetic sliding shoe pair comprises plungers, coil sleeve pieces, sliding shoes and an inclined disc; closing coils are arranged in the coil sleeve pieces; micro modeling holes are formed in the bearing face, making contact with the sliding shoes, of the end face of the inclined disc and are in a semi-spherical shape; and the back face of the inclined disc is provided with a main iron core and two auxiliary iron cores, the iron cores are all wound with coils, and the coils areconnected with an external alternating current power supply. An electromagnetic force self feedback regulation mode is provided so that the stable working state of the sliding shoe pair can be ensured. When the axial plunger pump/motor works, the coils are powered on, a magnetic field is generated, accordingly, the sliding shoes are attracted to the inclined disc, meanwhile, the coil sleeve piecesgenerate an induced magnetic field, electromagnetic force applied to the sliding shoes is converted into attraction force or repulsive force along with moving of the sliding shoes, a hydrodynamic effect is formed when the sliding shoes are under a complex stressed condition, the bearing face of the inclined disc is subjected to micro modeling design, thus, the oil film rigidity is improved, and the friction coefficient is reduced.
