Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X440S10AN-M4
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X440S10AN-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 LSH15HN1X440S10AN-M4
LSH15HN1X440S10AN-M4 gives you a 440 mm size 15 guide rail with one square, standard-length carriage mounted, ready to seat against your datum face. Accuracy grade N carries a running-parallelism band of 12 to 37 um; how close you land inside that band depends mostly on the mounting surface - shoulder heights H 3.5 mm, H1 3 mm and H2 4 mm, corner radius no more than 0.5 mm, and screws pulled flat and torqued. Four rows of balls in 45 degree X-shaped raceways self-align to absorb slight residual error, within the published limits, not without end. True rail width is 15 mm.
Fix the rail with M4 screws at 412 N.cm in steel, 274 N.cm in cast iron or 206 N.cm in aluminium. Per carriage: 11.3 kN dynamic, 17.9 kN static, 0.12 kN.m in each moment direction. With preload A - none the guide tolerates 25 um of parallelism error and 130 um of height error at 500 mm spacing, so a normal-grade rail over a well-machined base is the practical, economical pairing.

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X440S10AN-M4 Is Used
Extrusion straightness gauge
A dial-indicator carriage sweeps 440 mm along extruded aluminium profile at an inspection bench. The N-grade band of 12-37 um defines the machine baseline before you measure the part.
Desktop CNC gantry axis
A light router gantry on a 440 mm axis. With no preload the guide tolerates 25 um of parallelism and 130 um of height error at 500 mm spacing, which a machined aluminium plate meets without grinding.
3D printer X-bridge upgrade
A builder replacing worn round shafting on a CoreXY printer fits this 440 mm rail to the X bridge. The square carriage bolts over the top face, and recirculating balls hold accuracy far longer than plain bushings under continuous cycling.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X440S10AN-M4 the Right Guide?
This normal-grade set only reaches its 12-37 um band if the base plate does its part: shoulders machined to the LSH15 figures with corner radii under 0.5 mm, and bolts torqued to the M4 values. If you cannot hold that geometry, either stay with preload A - none and its wider allowances (25 um parallelism, 130 um height at 500 mm spacing) or step to LGC, whose crossed rollers suit short-travel precision. For lighter duties in less space, LRM steps down - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them for you. For heavier moment duties, a long carriage or LSH20 with MR 0.27 kN.m steps up.
Checklist: form (this is a set), size chosen on load and moment, carriage style and length, block count and rail length, accuracy and preload with the installation trade-off stated, grease fitting from M4/AM6/LM6, and the pairing code if this replaces a part on an existing machine.
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 LSH15HN1X440S10AN-M4 FAQ
Per standard square carriage: dynamic C 11.3 kN, static C0 17.9 kN, moments MR 0.12, MP 0.12, My 0.12 kN.m. Accuracy N gives 12-37 um running parallelism across the length bands. Mounting screws are M4, torqued 412 N.cm into steel, 274 N.cm into cast iron, 206 N.cm into aluminium. Grease: 0.9 cm3 first charge, 0.3 cm3 top-up, every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months; the carriage is delivered pre-filled with Mobilux EP2.
Rigidity is paid for in installation latitude. On LSH15, no preload allows 130 um of height error at 500 mm spacing; light preload allows 85 um; medium preload only 35 um - roughly a quarter of the starting figure. Allowed parallelism error tightens the same way, from 25 to 18 to 13 um. This set is preload A - none, so it is the forgiving choice. Order B or C only if your machining can reliably hold the tighter numbers.
