Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X100S20CN-M4
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X100S20CN-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.

About the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X100S20CN-M4
Built for very short strokes, the LSH15HN1X100S20CN-M4 pairs a 100 mm AirTAC LSH rail - size 15, a genuine 15 mm rail width - with one square, standard-length carriage already fitted, carrying medium preload (C), normal accuracy (N) and an M4 grease nipple. The carriage rides four ball rows in X-shaped 45 degree arc raceways, giving equal capacity in four directions and self-alignment that soaks up small seating errors. The 20 mm end offset suits top-lock screw mounting.
Ratings per carriage: 11.3 kN dynamic, 17.9 kN static and 0.12 kN.m moment in each of MR, MP and My. On a set this small, lubrication is the limiting discipline: 0.9 cm3 of Mobilux EP2 at first charge, and an 80 mm stroke cycling once a second covers the 100 km re-grease distance in roughly one week of continuous running, so the distance binds well before the 3 to 6 month calendar interval.

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X100S20CN-M4 Is Used
Bench-top pick-and-place module
A compact light-industrial pick-and-place head with 100 mm of Z or Y travel; medium preload keeps the gripper path free of play while the 15 mm rail keeps the frame slim.
Dosing slide on a small filling machine
A piston filler indexing its nozzle across vials uses the short rail for a crisp repeat stroke; the M4 nipple lets a technician re-grease in place during the service window.
Camera inspection slide
A machine-vision camera traversing a 100 mm scan line above a parts tray; preload C stiffens the carriage so frame blur from vibration is suppressed at the ends of travel.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X100S20CN-M4 the Right Guide?
With 100 mm of travel the frame envelope usually decides, so compare LGC if the run is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity more than recirculating stroke; if space is tighter still and the load light, LRM may fit, though its load ratings are unpublished and we confirm them by RFQ. When the duty is moment rather than load, one size up to LSH20 raises MR from 0.12 to 0.27 kN.m. Checklist: confirm a complete set rather than parts, size by load AND moment, square standard carriage, count and rail length, N accuracy with C preload and its tighter mounting tolerance, and the M4 fitting. A worn block on a sound rail is cheap to fix later - a replacement carriage runs about a quarter of a complete set price, provided you know the pairing code.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Complete set, carriage only, or rail only?
- ✓ Worst-case moment, not just straight load
- ✓ Travel length and mounting space
- ✓ Accuracy grade and preload
- ✓ Mounting surface ground or finish-milled
- ✓ Pairing code, if replacing a part
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled.
- check Torque the rail screws per the recommended figures, in sequence.
- check Keep the mounting corner radius inside the stated R maximum.
- check Do not angle the carriage onto the rail; balls can drop out.
- check Drive the supplied bolt caps into the mounting holes.
- check Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3–6 months.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X100S20CN-M4 FAQ
Per carriage: dynamic C 11.3 kN, static C0 17.9 kN, allowable moments MR 0.12, MP 0.12 and My 0.12 kN.m. N grade running parallelism spans 12-37 um according to rail length. Rail screws are M4, torqued to 412 N.cm on steel, 274 on cast iron and 206 on aluminium. Charge 0.9 cm3 of Mobilux EP2 per carriage, then top up after every 100 km of travel or at 3 to 6 month intervals, whichever comes first.
You receive the 100 mm rail and one square carriage fitted together, plus the plastic bolt caps for the rail mounting holes and the standard seals. Seat every cap fully into its counterbore, lay a flat plate over it, tap vertically with a plastic mallet, then wipe the rail - a cap left standing above the top face, or a hole left open, lets swarf into the ball circuit. Nothing else is included: there is no frame mounting hardware and no second carriage in this code.
