The AirTAC LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X380S10E10AN 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.
LSH15HN1X380S10E10AN is a complete AirTAC LSH linear guide: one 380 mm profile rail with a 10 mm end-hole offset, plus a single square (H) carriage of standard length already fitted to it. Nothing else is needed to build a running axis. Four rows of recirculating balls seat in X-shaped arc raceways at a 45 degree contact angle, so load capacity is equal up, down and sideways, and small mounting-surface errors are absorbed inside the carriage instead of binding it. Size 15 means a true rail width of 15 mm.
Per carriage the ratings are 11.3 kN dynamic (C), 17.9 kN static (C0) and 0.12 kN.m in each moment direction (MR, MP, My). Because this set is preloaded A - none, you keep the full installation latitude: up to 130 um of height error over a 500 mm span. The 380 mm rail sits far inside the 4040 mm maximum for size 15, and the E10 end detail is as coded - confirm any special end machining from the datasheet before cutting your mounting plate.

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 380 mm stroke carries an adhesive dispensing head across a PCB panel. The square carriage and 0.12 kN.m moment rating keep a small vertically mounted valve steady along the whole travel.
A photodetector traverses 380 mm along a spectrometer bench. The N-grade parallelism band of 12-37 um keeps the beam path repeatable without paying for a precision-grade rail.
A specimen cable bends back and forth over a pulley on a reciprocating carriage. Preload A - none accepts the modest alignment of a fabricated test frame, so the fixture stays inexpensive to build.
Start by matching the form: this is a set, rail plus carriage together. If the duty is light and the space is tight, LRM runs smaller still - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them for you before you commit. If the travel is short and the job needs crossed-roller rigidity rather than long recirculating travel, step across to LGC. If the moment governs instead of the load, take the long LSH15 carriage or move up to LSH20, whose standard carriage lifts MR from 0.12 to 0.27 kN.m.
Checklist before ordering: form (set, carriage or rail), size chosen on load AND moment, carriage style H/F1/F2 and length N/L, block count and rail length, accuracy N/H/P with the preload trade-off in mind, grease fitting within the size 15 M4 family (M4, AM6, LM6), and the pairing code off the original part if you are replacing rather than building.
Quick checklist
For the standard-length square carriage: dynamic C 11.3 kN, static C0 17.9 kN, and moment ratings MR 0.12, MP 0.12 and My 0.12 kN.m. Accuracy N carries a running-parallelism band of 12-37 um depending on rail length. Fix the rail with M4 screws at 412, 274 or 206 N.cm in steel, cast iron or aluminium. Grease: 0.9 cm3 first charge per carriage, 0.3 cm3 top-ups, every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
Preload B (light) or C (medium) raises rigidity but shrinks the installation tolerance. On LSH15 the allowable height error at 500 mm spacing falls from 130 um with no preload to 85 um light and 35 um medium - nearly four times tighter - and parallelism error from 25 to 18 to 13 um. This set is preload A - none, so a normally machined mounting surface is sufficient. Choose a B or C variant only when your machining holds the tighter geometry.
