The invention relates to an elevating mechanism for a cutting machine head of a five-axis steel tube intersecting line, wherein, an upright column is arranged on a longitudinal moving part of the cutting head, and the front surface of the upright column is fixedly equipped with a front screw rod axle seat, a rear screw rod axle seat, a fixed motor, a reducer and a screw rod; and the upright column is connected with a lifting board through a linear guide rail pair and a limit device, and the back side of the lifting board is provided with nuts which are meshed with the screw rod. By means of control by a precise linear guide rail pair, a precise ball screw pair, a contact and inductive up-and-lower limit switch and a full closed-loop AC servo motor, the elevating mechanism achieves fast elevating speed, accurate location, simple and convenient assembly, stable and reliable mechanical action, good machining accuracy, high cutting efficiency and larger elevating load-carrying capacity, wherein, the linear guide rail pair enlarges the travel range of the cutting head which reaches 300mm.
