The first gauge pitch teeth 191 have the largest number of tooth threads and the second gauge pitch teeth 192 have the largest pitch. Different linear lifting distances and speeds of the linear shaft 13 are realized by arranging screw teeth or screw groove pitches different by the first specification pitch teeth 191, the second specification pitch teeth 192 and the third specification pitch teeth 193 to be matched with the rotation of different curved surfaces of the cam 12.
