The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH15HN2X200S10AH-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.
This complete LSH15HN2X200S10AH-M4 set pairs a 200 mm rail with a 10 mm end-hole offset and two square, standard-length carriages, supplied as one unit. The blocks ride on four rows of recirculating balls in X-shaped 45 degree arc raceways, two contact points per ball, which equalises capacity in all four loading directions and absorbs small mounting errors inside the carriage instead of forcing the travel to bind. Size 15 means a rail 15 mm wide - here the size code and the true width happen to match.
Grade H tightens running parallelism to a 7-28 um band, against 12-37 um for grade N, which matters whenever a sensor, optic or gauge rides on the carriage. Ratings stay at 11.3 kN dynamic and 17.9 kN static per block with 0.12 kN.m moments, and because preload is A, the height error allowed between rails is still a generous 130 um at 500 mm spacing - you gain the accuracy grade without giving up installation latitude. At 200 mm this rail sits far below the 4040 mm Lmax for the size.

| H / F1 / F2 / F3 | Carriage style: square, or flange mounted from the top, bottom, or both. |
| N | Standard carriage. |
| 2X200 | 2 carriages on a 200 mm rail. |

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 lens or mirror holder traverses 200 mm while an alignment beam is tuned; the 7-28 um grade H parallelism band keeps the optical axis from wandering over the stroke.
A studio macro rig moves the camera, not the specimen, across 200 mm so focus-stacking sequences stay repeatable from frame to frame.
A light-curtain or area-scanner mount slides on this rail so one scanner covers two lanes of a guarding fence; the two blocks keep the scanner aimed straight along its travel.
Where the load is moment-heavy rather than a simple weight, work from the numbers: 0.12 kN.m per block on this size, while one step up to LSH20 more than doubles MR to 0.27 kN.m. Light, compact duties can drop to LRM, whose load ratings are not published, so we would confirm them for your case first; short travels that need crossed-roller rigidity rather than long recirculating running point to LGC.
Check before you order: complete-set form, size chosen on load and moment together, square standard-length carriages, two blocks, 200 mm rail with 10 mm end offset, grade H accuracy, preload A for a forgiving installation, and the M4 grease fitting.
Quick checklist
Each standard square carriage: 11.3 kN dynamic C, 17.9 kN static C0, 0.12 kN.m static moment on MR, MP and My alike. Grade H running parallelism: 7-28 um across the rail-length band. Mounting: M4 screws, 412 N.cm in steel, 274 in cast iron, 206 in aluminium, with the shoulder corner radius kept at or below 0.5 mm. Lubrication: 0.9 cm3 initial Mobilux EP2 charge and 0.3 cm3 top-ups via the M4 nipple, every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
Yes - preload B and C exist for size 15 as complete sets, but they trade installation latitude for rigidity. With this set's preload A the catalogue allows 25 um of parallelism error and 130 um of height error between rails at 500 mm spacing; a medium-preload C version tightens the height allowance to 35 um. Remember too that self-alignment only works within those limits - it is not a licence to skip machining the mounting face.
