[0049] Further, the lead screw roll limiting electromagnetic clutch assembly controls clutch switching of rotational movement of the primary work roller screw pair by energizing or de-energizing the first electromagnetic attraction coil; [0050] when the first electromagnetic attraction coil is de-energized, the first movable double sided spline toothed disc is engaged with the primary clutch connection toothed disc and disengaged from the first fixed end face toothed disc simultaneously, the first movable double sided spline toothed disc utilizes an internal and external spine connection to drive the roll limiting spline rotary sleeve to rotate together, and the roll limiting spline rotary sleeve drives the hollow long shaft lead screw to rotate together, such that the primary work roller screw pair assembly cannot output a linear movement; and [0051] when the first electromagnetic attraction coil is energized, the first movable double sided spline toothed disc is disengaged from the primary clutch connection toothed disc and engaged with the first fixed end face toothed disc simultaneously, the roll limiting spline rotary sleeve is immobilized with the first fixed end face toothed disc, and the roll limiting spline rotary sleeve constrains the hollow long shaft lead screw to move in the axial direction, such that the primary work roller screw pair assembly outputs the linear movement.
