The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30HN1X200S20BH-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.
Two upgrades in one code: LSH30HN1X200S20BH-M6 is an AirTAC LSH complete set pairing a 200 mm size 30 rail with a single square standard carriage, specified with light preload (B) and high accuracy (H). The rail is genuinely 28 mm wide despite the 30 in the size code - a detail that catches out anyone machining the base plate from the code alone. Ball rows at 45 degree contact angle deliver equal capacity in all four directions and self-alignment over slight base errors, with grease fed through an M6 fitting on the carriage. The standard S20 offset puts the first mounting hole 20 mm from each rail end.
The H grade tightens running parallelism to a 7-28 um band, against 12-37 um for normal grade - the difference shows up straight away on a axis that must repeat position. Light preload adds stiffness under reversing loads and vibration, but it narrows the installation window: allowable height error between rails drops from 170 um to 110 um at 500 mm spacing, and parallelism from 40 um to 30 um. Check your mounting surface against those figures before choosing B over A. Load figures per carriage are unchanged: 37.4 kN dynamic, 55.0 kN static, MR 0.66 / MP 0.67 / My 0.67 kN.m.

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 slide carrying a laser or autocollimator needs sub-30 um straightness over its stroke. The H accuracy grade and light preload keep the beam path stable while the 28 mm rail keeps the instrument footprint compact.
A dispensing head reversing thousands of times per shift benefits from light preload, which removes the free play that causes drool at direction change. At a 300 mm stroke cycling once a second, 100 km of travel passes in about two weeks - plan the 1.7 cm3 top-ups around running hours, not the calendar.
Probe and sensor positioners on test equipment need repeatable, backlash-free motion at moderate loads. The 37.4 kN dynamic rating is ample, and preload B keeps the carriage compliant enough for the machined-base tolerances such frames achieve.
Choose this grade when position repeatability, not raw capacity, is the constraint - the H-grade 7-28 um parallelism band is what you are paying for alongside the light preload. If you need tighter still, precision grade P (3-21 um band) is available to order in this size. Capacity-wise the standard carriage gives 37.4 kN dynamic and MR 0.66 kN.m; a long carriage raises MR to 0.88 kN.m if the load overhangs, and a second carriage on the same rail resists tipping along the travel. For light duties in a tight envelope, compare AirTAC LRM (ratings not published - we confirm them at RFQ); for short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness, compare LGC. Checklist before you order: confirm this is the form you want (a complete set, rail plus one carriage), size by load AND moment, carriage style and length, count and rail length, accuracy and preload with the mounting trade-off understood, M6 grease fitting, and the pairing code only if you are buying a replacement part rather than this set.
Quick checklist
Per standard square carriage: C 37.4 kN dynamic, C0 55.0 kN static, moments MR 0.66 / MP 0.67 / My 0.67 kN.m. High accuracy grade gives a 7-28 um running parallelism band over the rail length range. Rail fixing is M8 screws at 3040 / 2010 / 1470 N.cm for steel / cast iron / aluminium bases. Lubrication: Mobilux EP2 or equivalent, 5.4 cm3 first charge and 1.7 cm3 top-ups, repeated every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
Yes, when your base is machined well. Light preload stiffens the carriage against reversing forces and vibration, but it cuts the allowable height error between rails from 170 um to 110 um at 500 mm spacing (proportional at other spacings) and parallelism from 40 um to 30 um. If your mounting surface cannot hold that, the preload simply converts base error into running resistance. Medium preload C is tighter still and exists in this size; heavy preload D does not exist on LSH30 or below.
