Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-M4
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-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 LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-M4
The LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-M4 is a complete AirTAC LSH linear guide set: one 1000 mm profile rail cut with a 20 mm end-hole offset, carrying two square H-type carriages of standard length. Nothing else is needed to mount it and run. Inside each carriage, four rows of recirculating balls run in X-shaped arc raceways set at 45 degrees, so the unit carries load equally up, down and sideways and absorbs slight mounting-surface error instead of binding. Size 15 here means a true 15 mm rail width - for this size the code and the width happen to agree.
Per carriage the ratings are 11.3 kN dynamic and 17.9 kN static, with 0.12 kN.m allowable moment in each direction; with two carriages on one rail the pair shares the load and resists tipping along the travel. Static capacity sits at roughly 1.58 times dynamic, so a one-off overload peak has margin even when travel life is sized on C. This is a no-preload, normal-grade set, which leaves the widest installation latitude: at 500 mm rail spacing the parallelism error may reach 25 um and the height error 130 um.

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-M4 Is Used
Compact CNC router X-axis
Two square blocks on the 1000 mm rail carry the spindle saddle of a small CNC router, sharing the load so the cutter's side forces do not tip the carriage.
Analytical sampler shuttle
A sample-plate shuttle in a lab analyzer runs the full 1000 mm travel; the no-preload fit tolerates a lightly machined aluminium base without binding.
Carton pusher on a packaging line
A pusher arm indexing cartons across a conveyor rides this guide set; equal four-direction capacity absorbs both the push load and lift-off.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-M4 the Right Guide?
Size the guide on load and moment together. Two of these carriages on one 1000 mm rail handle pushing and lifting duties well; if the load is cantilevered and moment governs, step up to LSH20 (MR 0.27 vs 0.12 kN.m per carriage, about 125 percent more for one part) or fit a long carriage. When the duty is light and the envelope small, the smaller LRM family may serve - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them against your duty before quoting. For short-travel work needing crossed-roller stiffness rather than long recirculating travel, look at LGC instead.
Checklist before ordering: form (this is a complete set, rail and two carriages), size by load and moment, carriage style and length, count and rail length, accuracy N with no preload and the 25/130 um installation window at 500 mm spacing that buys, M4 grease point, and - if you are ever matching a replacement to existing parts - the pairing code off the original.
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 LSH15HN2X1000S20AN-M4 FAQ
Each of the two standard-length carriages is rated 11.3 kN basic dynamic (C) and 17.9 kN basic static (C0), with allowable static moments of 0.12 kN.m in MR, MP and My. Running parallelism for normal accuracy spans 12 to 37 um depending on rail length. The rail mounts on M4 screws torqued to 412 N.cm in steel, 274 in cast iron or 206 in aluminium. Each carriage is delivered with 0.9 cm3 of Mobilux EP2 and takes 0.3 cm3 at re-greasing, due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
The A code leaves internal clearance in the ball circuit, which buys the widest assembly tolerance of any LSH15 grade: at 500 mm rail spacing you may run up to 25 um of parallelism error and 130 um of height difference between rails. The self-aligning carriage absorbs that error rather than binding, but only within these values - beyond them the guide will still run roughly and wear early. If the application later needs zero-play positioning, order a B or C preload variant instead, and accept the correspondingly tighter machining requirement.
