The AirTAC LSH Linear Guide Block LSH30BK-HN-P-C-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.
This code buys the moving half of a size 30 guide and nothing else: one AirTAC LSH30 square block in the standard length, precision accuracy, M6 fitting, and no rail whatsoever. The geometry inside is four ball rows on 45 degree X-pattern arc raceways, two contact points per ball - equal capacity vertical, lateral and upside down, plus enough self-alignment to forgive small errors in the mounting face. The rail beneath it, the LSH30 profile, measures 28 mm across.
Where this block earns its keep is moment: MR 0.66 kN.m in roll, MP and My 0.67 kN.m in pitch and yaw, on top of 37.4 kN dynamic and 55.0 kN static. Mount two blocks per rail and a cantilevered load is shared between two ball circuits, which is the standard cure for tipping along the travel. The pairing letter on this carriage is C; your rail must show the same letter for the rated preload and precision grade to hold.

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 self-reversing tapping head hung off a short Z-slide loads the carriage in pitch; the 0.67 kN.m pitch figure, not the 37.4 kN load rating, is what sizes the block for the job.
An optical bench press that seats lenses into cells needs the ram held square; this block's 0.67 kN.m yaw rating and self-aligning ball pattern keep the tool face true to the seat.
A pusher gate that diverts cartons between two conveyor lanes slides on this block; equal capacity in all four directions absorbs the side thrust at each end of the stroke.
Size 30 earns its place through moment: MR 0.66 kN.m here against 0.44 kN.m for LSH25 standard, about 50 percent more for one size of part, and the long LSH30 carriage lifts roll moment further to 0.88 kN.m if the standard length falls short. Downward, if the envelope is tight and the load modest, LRM is the small-footprint option - we confirm its unrated loads by enquiry. Across, if the travel is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity over long recirculating travel, check LGC instead. When ordering, tick off: carriage-only form, size set by load AND moment, square style and standard length, number of blocks and rail length for a full set, accuracy and preload plus the installation tolerance they cost you, grease fitting, and the pairing letter that ties block to rail.
Quick checklist
The catalogue numbers for this LSH30 standard-length carriage are C 37.4 kN dynamic, C0 55.0 kN static, moments MR 0.66 / MP 0.67 / My 0.67 kN.m, precision-grade parallelism of 3-21 um, M8 rail screws torqued to 3040 / 2010 / 1470 N.cm on steel, cast iron and aluminium, and a grease charge of 5.4 cm3 with 1.7 cm3 top-ups every 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months.
A single carriage, nothing else: no rail, no mounting screws, no bolt caps. The LSH system pairs blocks to rails by letter, and this carriage is code C. A C-block on a C-rail keeps its precision grade and factory preload; a C-block on any other letter will not. Replacement buyers should quote the code printed or stamped on the original part, or the full model number of the set it came from.
