Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6 is a standard-type profile linear guide on a 20 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 LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6
This AirTAC LSH set, LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6, delivers just over a metre of guided travel in size 20 with the most forgiving configuration in the catalogue: 1100 mm rail, one standard-length square carriage, normal accuracy, and no preload (code A). Inside the block, four ball rows in X-crossed 45 degree raceways give the same load capacity in every direction and let the carriage absorb slight errors in the mounting surface instead of jamming on them. Size 20 here means a true rail width of 20 mm, and the set ships with its bolt caps included.
Each carriage is rated 18.6 kN dynamic and 28.6 kN static, with moments of 0.27 / 0.25 / 0.25 kN.m (MR / MP / My), and 1100 mm still leaves about 2940 mm below the 4040 mm maximum rail length for this size. Because preload A tolerates the most installation error - height deviation up to 130 um at 500 mm rail spacing versus 50 um on the medium-preload version - this is the configuration to choose when the baseplate is a welded frame or a plainly milled plate rather than a ground datum.

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6 Is Used
Conveyor reject-gate slide
Sliding a reject gate across the end of a packaging conveyor; without preload the set shrugs off the misalignment typical of welded conveyor frames, and 1100 mm covers the gate's full park-and-divert travel.
Carton pusher guide
Guiding the pusher that moves a carton from an infeed belt into a case; the 28.6 kN static rating covers the occasional side knock, and normal accuracy is entirely adequate for a transfer stroke.
Durability test sled
A rig that cycles components back and forth on a test bench; the unpreloaded carriage minimises drag so the drive sees the specimen's resistance rather than the guide's, and re-lubrication is a 0.6 cm3 job every 100 km.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6 the Right Guide?
With no preload this set forgives the most imperfect mounting, so start by judging your baseplate: at 500 mm spacing the allowable height error is 130 um and the parallelism error 25 um, scaled to the real span, and the self-aligning carriage absorbs small residual error - within those values, not beyond them. Then size the duty both ways: C of 18.6 kN governs travel life while C0 of 28.6 kN is the static ceiling, roughly one and a half times higher; if a cantilevered load makes moment the deciding figure, a long carriage raises MR from 0.27 to 0.35 kN.m and a step to LSH25 reaches 0.44. Light, compact duties belong on LRM (ratings not published - we confirm them against your application); short travel demanding crossed-roller stiffness points to LGC instead. Before ordering: complete-set form, size, square standard carriage, carriage count, rail length and end offset, accuracy N, preload A, M6 fitting, and the pairing code for any later part replacement.
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 LSH20HN1X1100S40AN-M6 FAQ
For each standard square carriage: C 18.6 kN dynamic, C0 28.6 kN static, and allowable moments of 0.27 kN.m in MR, 0.25 kN.m in MP and 0.25 kN.m in My. N-grade running parallelism ranges from 12 to 37 um according to rail length. Fix the rail with M5 screws at 882 N.cm on steel, 588 N.cm on cast iron or 441 N.cm on aluminium. Lubrication is Mobilux EP2, 1.8 cm3 per carriage at first charge and 0.6 cm3 at each top-up, repeated every 100 km of motion or every 3 to 6 months.
The set comprises a single 1100 mm size 20 rail, one standard square carriage fitted with an M6 nipple, and the rail's plastic bolt caps. Screws, brackets and any second-axis hardware are not part of the supply. Fit the caps properly: press each into its counterbore, cover with a flat plate and strike vertically with a plastic mallet, then wipe the rail clean - a cap left out, or one standing above the rail top face, invites swarf into the ball recirculation and degrades running smoothness.
