The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X570S15AN-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.
What arrives is a full LSH15 linear guide: a 570 mm hardened profile rail with one standard-length square carriage bolted to it, accuracy grade N, no preload (code A) and an M4 grease nipple. There is no black-chrome finish on this code. Four rows of balls run in X-arranged 45 degree arc raceways, giving the carriage the same load rating upward, downward and sideways, and letting it swallow slight misalignment of the mounting face rather than binding on it. Size 15 here means a genuine rail width of 15 mm.
Catalogue ratings per carriage: 11.3 kN dynamic C, 17.9 kN static C0, and 0.12 kN.m for each of the MR, MP and My moments - the static figure running about 1.5 times the dynamic one, as it does across the range. With no preload this is the most forgiving LSH15 to install: at 500 mm rail spacing the mounting surface may deviate 25 um in parallelism and up to 130 um in height, values that scale with the true spacing. The 570 mm rail sits well inside the 4040 mm maximum length for this size.

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.
Sliding a lens holder or camera along a 570 mm optical rail suits this set: the load is grams to a few kilograms, and normal accuracy with no preload gives the freest running for a hand-adjusted fixture.
An electric actuator nudging housings into a fixture at an assembly cell loads the carriage lightly and vertically, comfortably inside the 17.9 kN static rating with no preload to fight against.
A print-and-apply label head traversing cartons on a packaging line rides a single block; the 570 mm span covers typical carton widths and the M4 nipple allows a 0.3 cm3 grease top-up at each 100 km service point.
Because the moment limit of a single LSH15 carriage is 0.12 kN.m, check any overhanging load first - if the moment governs rather than the 11.3 kN dynamic rating, a step up to LSH20 (MR 0.27 kN.m) or a long carriage buys more capacity than adding a second block to this rail, which mainly resists tipping along the travel. Light duties in a tight envelope may suit the LRM miniature series instead; its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them on enquiry. For short-stroke work needing the rigidity of crossed rollers, LGC is the alternative. Before ordering, tick off: form (this code is a complete rail-plus-carriage set), size against load and moment, carriage style and length, carriage count and rail length, accuracy and preload - remembering that tighter preload demands a flatter surface - grease fitting, and the pairing code when replacing a single part.
Quick checklist
Dynamic rating C 11.3 kN, static rating C0 17.9 kN, moments MR, MP and My 0.12 kN.m each. Normal-grade running parallelism spans 12-37 um depending on rail length. Fix the rail with M4 screws at 412 N.cm (steel), 274 N.cm (cast iron) or 206 N.cm (aluminium). Lubrication: 0.9 cm3 Mobilux EP2 charged at the factory, 0.3 cm3 top-up per carriage every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
It is a complete set: one 570 mm LSH15 rail (15 mm wide) plus one square standard carriage, ready to bolt down with M4 screws. The carriage ships pre-lubricated with Mobilux EP2. Each LSH15 carriage fits any LSH15 rail and keeps its accuracy and preload - but only within the LSH family; never mix it with another maker's rail. If you later need a spare block, order a carriage-only code and quote the pairing letter so it matches this rail.
