The AirTAC LSH Linear Guide Block LSH30BK-HN-P-B-M6 is a standard-type profile linear guide on a 28 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.
The LSH30BK-HN-P-B-M6 is a single AirTAC LSH carriage - the square (H) style, standard length, precision (P) accuracy grade, delivered with an M6 grease fitting. No rail is included in this listing. Four rows of recirculating balls sit in X-arranged arc raceways at 45 degree contact, two contact points per ball, so the block takes equal load in all four directions and soaks up slight mounting-surface error instead of jamming. It runs on the LSH30 profile rail, which is 28 mm wide, not the 30 mm the size name implies.
Per block, the catalogue gives 37.4 kN dynamic (C), 55.0 kN static (C0) and allowable moments of 0.66 / 0.67 / 0.67 kN.m for roll, pitch and yaw. C0 sits only about 1.5 times above C, so resist sizing on the bigger static number; dynamic C is what governs travel life. This unit is pairing code B and must be matched to an LSH30 rail carrying the same letter, or the factory-set preload and accuracy will not carry over.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LSH catalogue. The catalogue page does not state the carriage or rail base material. Sizes 35 and 45 exist in the catalogue but are not listed here; they are available to order. This item is a carriage only. Order a complete set if you also need a rail.

This is a carriage on its own. NO RAIL IS INCLUDED. 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 1325-format CNC router develops backlash on one gantry block; swapping in this precision square carriage on the existing 28 mm LSH30 rail restores the full 37.4 kN rating without re-machining the gantry.
During a changeover window, a maintenance tech replaces the fatigued X-axis block on a small Cartesian pick-and-place robot, quoting pairing code B so the new carriage matches the rail already fitted.
A toolroom converting the feed slide of a small mechanical press from a bronze gib to rolling contact bolts this square block under the feed beam and pairs it with a new code-B rail.
Before you buy, decide the form: this SKU is the carriage alone, so it suits a repair or an upgrade to an existing LSH30 rail, not a new build. It is also worth costing the repair: a block on its own runs roughly a quarter of the price of a complete set, so a sound rail plus a fresh square carriage is the economical fix - as long as you read the pairing letter off the old part. If the duty turns out lighter than size 30, the LRM family steps down in envelope, but its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them by RFQ first. Where travel is short and the job wants crossed-roller stiffness rather than long recirculating travel, LGC is the alternative. Full checklist: form (carriage only), size by load and moment together, carriage style and length, count and rail length if a set is being built, accuracy and preload with the note that tighter preload narrows allowable mounting error, grease fitting, and the pairing code.
Quick checklist
Per block: dynamic C 37.4 kN, static C0 55.0 kN, allowable moments MR 0.66, MP 0.67, My 0.67 kN.m. Precision grade running parallelism sits in a 3-21 um band over the rail length range. Rail screws are M8 at 3040 N.cm (steel), 2010 (cast iron) or 1470 (aluminium). The block ships charged with 5.4 cm3 of Mobilux EP2 and takes 1.7 cm3 per top-up, every 100 km or 3 to 6 months.
No. The BK tag means carriage only: one square block, an M6 fitting and nothing to bolt it to. AirTAC marks every LSH rail and carriage with a pairing letter; this one is B, so it mates only with an LSH30 rail of the same letter. If you cannot read the letter off your old part, send us the full code or a photo and we will identify it before you order.
