Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X70S5AN-AM6
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X70S5AN-AM6 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 LSH15HN1X70S5AN-AM6
This is the shortest complete LSH15 guide in the range carried here: a 70 mm profile rail with a single standard-length square carriage, normal accuracy, no preload, and an AM6 tube fitting on the block. Even at this length the geometry is the family standard - four ball rows in X-set 45 degree arc raceways, equal capacity in all four directions, self-aligning against slight mounting error. Size 15 translates to a true rail width of 15 mm, and the S5 code puts the end mounting holes just 5 mm from each rail end.
Per-carriage ratings are identical to any LSH15 standard block: 11.3 kN dynamic, 17.9 kN static, 0.12 kN.m per moment axis. What the 70 mm length changes is travel: usable stroke is rail length minus carriage length, so confirm the carriage outline on the datasheet before committing to a mechanism. One fitting note: a tube fitting such as AM6 may sit flush with or slightly above the carriage top face, so check clearance to anything passing over the block before mounting.

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X70S5AN-AM6 Is Used
Short-stroke camera focus slide
A machine-vision camera shifted a few millimetres between two focal planes is a natural 70 mm rail job: the block, not the rail, sets the 11.3 kN dynamic limit, and travel stays within one carriage length.
Fixture clamp actuator guide
A toggle clamp or small press head guided over a few millimetres of stroke keeps its side thrust off the mechanism; the 17.9 kN static rating covers clamping shocks with margin to spare.
Lab autosampler head slide
An autosampler head stepping between vial positions moves millimetres at a time; the AM6 tube fitting accepts a slim grease line where a bulkier nipple would foul nearby tubing and shielding.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN1X70S5AN-AM6 the Right Guide?
Choose this set when the mechanism needs only a short indexed movement - a cam follow, a sensor shift, a micro-dose slide - and 70 mm of rail is enough. If the stroke grows, the same carriage family runs on rails to 4040 mm, so you can lengthen without changing size. For heavier moment loads move up to LSH20 or a long carriage; for a tight envelope at light duty consider LRM, whose ratings are unpublished and confirmed by RFQ; for short travel wanting crossed-roller rigidity, LGC. Checklist: form (this is a rail-plus-carriage set), size by load and moment, carriage style and length, carriage count, rail length, accuracy and preload with the mounting-tolerance trade-off in mind, grease fitting, and pairing code for any replacement part.
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 LSH15HN1X70S5AN-AM6 FAQ
Dynamic C 11.3 kN, static C0 17.9 kN, MR/MP/My 0.12/0.12/0.12 kN.m, normal-grade running parallelism 12-37 um. M4 rail screws at 412/274/206 N.cm in steel, cast iron and aluminium; shoulders H 3.5, H1 3, H2 4 mm, corner radius max 0.5 mm. Grease: 0.9 cm3 Mobilux EP2 first charge, 0.3 cm3 top-up per carriage every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. The AM6 tube fitting is one of the M4-family options allowed on size 15.
Nothing is preloaded: code A means free-running, which maximises mounting tolerance - 130 um allowable height error and 25 um parallelism at 500 mm spacing. The box contains one 70 mm rail and one square carriage; the block is pre-filled with Mobilux EP2 and fitted with an AM6 tube fitting, which may stand flush with or above the carriage top, so clear any parts crossing overhead. Drive the supplied bolt caps flush into the rail holes to keep swarf out of the ball path.
