Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B 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 LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B
This 180 mm set is specified for a firmer feel: the same LSH15 platform - 15 mm wide rail, 30 mm end-hole offset, one square standard carriage - but with light preload (B), normal accuracy (N) and an AM6 tube fitting rather than a bare M4 nipple. AM6 belongs to the M4 fitting family allowed on size 15. The packing code is B, so the rail and the carriage are boxed separately, which suits installations where the two arrive at different stations. Four rows of balls on 45 degree X-raceways carry load equally in all four directions and self-align within the catalogue limits.
Light preload stiffens the slide without the full tolerance penalty of medium: allowable height error S is 85 um per 500 mm spacing (against 130 um with no preload and 35 um at medium) and parallelism error P is 18 um. Ratings per carriage: C 11.3 kN, C0 17.9 kN, moments 0.12 kN.m in MR, MP and My. The AM6 fitting takes a grease tube: charge 0.9 cm3 at commissioning, 0.3 cm3 top-up, every 100 km or 3 to 6 months. A side tube fitting may sit flush with or above the carriage top face - check for interference before mounting adjacent parts.

Model Code: Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B
| LSH | LSH Series Linear Guide. |
|---|---|
| 15 | Size code. |
| H / F1 / F2 / F3 | Carriage style: square, or flange mounted from the top, bottom, or both. |
| N | Standard carriage. |
| 1X180 | 1 carriage on a 180 mm rail. |

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B Is Used
Router table rebuild
Retrofitting a woodshop router sled with a light-preload slide: the 85 um height allowance still suits a carefully milled bed, and the AM6 nipple accepts a workshop grease gun hose.
Laser engraver gantry upgrade
Replacing worn slide bushings on an engraving gantry with a full LSH15 set: separate packing lets the rail be squared to the frame first, then the carriage fitted last.
Cable-flex test sled
A rig that cycles cable samples back and forth: the 100 km grease interval matters here - at a 300 mm stroke cycling once per second it arrives in about two weeks, so route the grease tube for easy access.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B the Right Guide?
If you are plumbing automatic or semi-automatic lubrication, this is the size-15 code to shortlist: the AM6 tube fitting connects straight to a grease line, within the M4 family that size 15 allows. Separate packing (code B) also helps workshop routing - rail to the machining cell, carriage to the clean bench. Duty lighter and space tighter? Consider the slim LRM family, whose ratings we confirm per enquiry since none are published. Need crossed-roller stiffness for a short, fixed stroke? Ask about LGC. If the 0.12 kN.m moment rating binds before the 11.3 kN dynamic load, a long LSH15 carriage, a second carriage on this rail, or a step up to LSH20 (MR 0.27 kN.m) each raise it in a different way. Order checklist: form, size by load and moment, carriage style and length, count and rail length, accuracy grade, preload against your mounting tolerance, fitting type, and rail mounting direction.
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 LSH15HN1X180S30BN-AM6-B FAQ
Per carriage: dynamic C 11.3 kN, static C0 17.9 kN, static moments MR / MP / My 0.12 kN.m each, normal-grade parallelism 12-37 um. Screws are M4 at 412 / 274 / 206 N.cm on steel, cast iron and aluminium. The AM6 tube fitting takes Mobilux EP2 or equivalent: 0.9 cm3 first charge, 0.3 cm3 top-up, every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, then stroke the carriage at least three lengths twice and confirm an even film on the rail.
The box holds one 180 mm LSH15 rail with a 30 mm end-hole offset and one square standard carriage with light preload - a matched, interchangeable pair - plus the rail bolt caps, which must be seated flush in their counterbores to keep swarf out of the ball circuit. Packing code B means rail and carriage are boxed separately rather than together; the hardware itself is identical. Grease reaches the carriage through the AM6 tube fitting, so leave clearance above the carriage top face where the fitting sits.
