The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15F1N1X200S10AN-M4 is a standard-type profile linear guide on a 15 mm wide rail. Four rows of balls contact X-shaped raceways at a 45° angle, so the guide carries load equally in all four directions and absorbs small mounting errors inside the carriage instead of binding.
A complete guide in one part number: LSH15F1N1X200S10AN-M4 pairs a 200 mm profile rail with a single top-flange (F1) carriage of standard length. The flange bolts down from above, so screws can be driven before neighbouring parts crowd the deck. Four ball rows sit in opposed 45 degree arc raceways, giving the same rating vertically and laterally while the block self-aligns to slight errors in the mounting surface. Size 15 runs on a rail 15 mm wide.
At N accuracy, running parallelism falls in the 12-37 um band across the rail length ranges. Ratings per carriage: 11.3 kN dynamic, 17.9 kN static - the static figure is about 1.6 times the dynamic one, but it is C that governs travel life, so size on 11.3 kN. Moment limits are 0.12 kN.m on MR, MP and My alike. The rail is cut to 200 mm against a 4040 mm maximum, so the same frame can later take a far longer rail without redesign.

Rail and carriage(s) supplied together, matched as a set. If you are not sure which form you need, send us the machine or the original part number and we will confirm it before you order.
A compact adhesive or solder-paste dispenser gains a repeatable X motion from this 200 mm set; the top flange asks nothing more of the deck than tapped holes and screw clearance.
Use the assembly to guide a product pusher that squares parts before they enter a bowl feeder; the 11.3 kN dynamic rating comfortably covers lightweight stampings.
Carry an inspection camera across a 200 mm scan line; N grade keeps optical-axis wander inside the 12-37 um band, sufficient for pass-fail vision on machined parts.
Work through the match list before checkout: form (complete set), size by both load and moment, carriage style (F1 flange tapped from the top), standard length, one block, 200 mm rail with a 10 mm end offset, N grade, preload A, M4 fitting. Where the envelope is tiny and the duty light, the LRM family runs smaller - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them against your duty cycle. If a cantilevered load tips the block rather than overloading it, one size up helps most: LSH20 raises MR from 0.12 to 0.27 kN.m. For short-travel work needing crossed-roller stiffness rather than long recirculating runs, compare LGC. One caution with F1 flanges: a side-mounted grease fitting can foul the carriage body, so check clearance before final mounting.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: dynamic C 11.3 kN, static C0 17.9 kN, moment limits MR 0.12, MP 0.12, My 0.12 kN.m. N grade running parallelism spans 12-37 um across the rail length bands. Fasten the rail with M4 screws at 412 N.cm in steel, 274 in cast iron or 206 in aluminium, keeping the shoulder corner radius at 0.5 mm or less. Grease first charge is 0.9 cm3 with 0.3 cm3 top-ups, repeated every 100 km of travel or every 3-6 months.
This code specifies preload A, meaning none. Moving to light preload B narrows the installation window: between rails 500 mm apart, allowable parallelism error drops from 25 to 18 um and height error from 130 to 85 um; medium preload C pulls height tolerance down to 35 um - nearly four times tighter than the unloaded build. Rigidity is paid for in mounting accuracy, so step up only if your machining can hold the tighter figures.
