The voltage controlled varactor is configured in a manner that varactors VCk, each formed by a series connection of a fixed capacitor Ck (k=1, 2, . . . , n) and a MOS transistor Mk of N channel type, are connected in parallel. The MOS transistors M1 to Mn are configured in a manner that gate widths W are same but gate lengths L1 to Ln are elongated sequentially (that is, L1<L2< . . . <Ln) so that the threshold voltages thereof are differentiated from one another.

The nut runners are operated to fasten a connecting rod to the crankshaft. Accordingly, one tightening apparatus can be used to tighten the connecting rod attachment members to the crankshaft even when the type of the crankshaft is changed. The tightening apparatus is applicable to a production line for carrying multiple types in a mixed manner.
