The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30HN1X530S30AN-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.
LSH30HN1X530S30AN-M6 pairs a 530 mm LSH profile rail with a single square standard carriage - a full guide set, not a spare part. The S30 end-hole offset places the first M8 mounting hole 30 mm in from each rail end, so plan your base plate hole pattern around it. Four rows of recirculating balls bear on crossed 45 degree arc grooves, so the carriage carries radial, reverse and lateral loads equally and evens out slight flatness errors in the machined way.
This is the no-preload, normal-accuracy build. Per carriage: 37.4 kN dynamic, 55.0 kN static and 0.66/0.67/0.67 kN.m allowable moment. Stepping up to size 30 from LSH25 raises the moment rating from 0.44 to 0.66 kN.m - half again as much - for one extra size, which is why moment-limited designs jump a size rather than adding blocks. At 530 mm the rail uses a modest fraction of the 4030 mm maximum length for this size, so longer versions remain available to order.

|---|---|
| 30 | Size code — note the rail is 28 mm wide, not 30 mm. |
| H / F1 / F2 / F3 | Carriage style: square, or flange mounted from the top, bottom, or both. |
| N | Standard carriage. |
| 1X530 | 1 carriage on a 530 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| A | A — no preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |
| N | N — normal grade. |
| -M4 / -M6 / -A01… | Grease nipple or tube-fitting type. Restricted by size: size 15 the M4 family, 20–35 the M6 family, 45 the PT1/8 family. |

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 fabrication shop feeding tube through a straightening head uses the 530 mm stroke to index stock; the 55.0 kN static rating covers the push-back loads at the dies.
A bottling plant mounts a row of filler nozzles on this carriage to lift them clear of the bottles during changeover, topping up grease through the M6 nipple without stripping the block down on the line.
A 530 mm autosampler bed sweeping across a plate tray cycles constantly; at a 300 mm stroke run continuously, the 100 km re-grease distance accumulates in around two weeks, so the distance limit binds before the calendar does.
Longer rails raise the stakes on installation, so treat it as part of the design: set the mounting shoulder height (6.5 mm on this size, corner radius 1 mm max), bolt the rail down to full M8 torque against a clean datum, and drive the supplied end caps into the bolt holes - a cap left proud or missing invites swarf into the ball circuit. If your duty is lighter and space is scarce, LRM miniatures cost less but we confirm their unpublished ratings first; if the stroke is short and crossed-roller stiffness matters more than travel, LGC is the better tool. Checklist: form, size by load and moment, carriage style and length, count and rail length, accuracy and preload with the mounting tolerance trade-off, grease fitting, and the pairing code when ordering spares.
Quick checklist
Size 30, standard carriage: C 37.4 kN dynamic, C0 55.0 kN static, MR 0.66 / MP 0.67 / My 0.67 kN.m. Normal grade running parallelism is 12-37 um across the rail length bands. Mount on M8 screws at 3040 N.cm (steel), 2010 N.cm (cast iron) or 1470 N.cm (aluminium). Grease: 5.4 cm3 first charge per carriage, 1.7 cm3 top-ups, repeat every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Confirm overall dimensions from the datasheet before detailing the housing.
Preload A is the most forgiving combination: at 500 mm rail spacing the catalogue allows up to 40 um of parallelism error between rails and 170 um of height error, and these scale in proportion at other spacings. Self-alignment absorbs only what the table allows - it is not unlimited. Rail width here is 28 mm, not 30, and the shoulder height is 6.5 mm with a maximum 1 mm corner radius, so check the drawing before cutting metal.
