The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30HN2X2600S20AN-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, LSH30HN2X2600S20AN-M6, covers the full assembly: a 2600 mm hardened profile rail with two standard-length square carriages riding it, accuracy grade normal and no preload. The four-row ball circuit in each carriage sits at a 45 degree contact angle in X-arranged arc grooves with two contact points per ball, which is why the same carriage takes loads from any direction and evens out small mounting inaccuracies on its own. Remember the true rail width here is 28 mm even though the size is called 30.
At 2600 mm this rail uses most, but not all, of the 4030 mm maximum length offered in size 30, leaving headroom to re-order a longer rail later without changing series. Each carriage carries 37.4 kN dynamic and 55.0 kN static with 0.66 / 0.67 / 0.67 kN.m moments, and static sits at roughly one and a half times dynamic across the range - size the axis on the dynamic figure for travel life, not on the bigger static number.

| 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. |
| 2X2600 | 2 carriages on a 2600 mm rail. |

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 traveling pick head rides a 2600 mm rail above a parcel sorting conveyor and serves every lane; the two-carriage arrangement stops the head pitching as it accelerates and brakes.
Mounting a robot on a floor rail 2.6 m long turns a fixed arm into a linear gantry; the long rail shares the robot's load and moment over its full travel.
A tote shuttle running the length of a warehouse aisle needs a straight, accurately cut 2600 mm track; normal accuracy with no preload tolerates the mounting tolerances of fabricated steel supports.
At 2600 mm this is a rail for a genuinely long axis. If your travel is only a few hundred millimetres, LGC's crossed rollers will feel stiffer over that short span, while LRM serves lighter duties in a smaller envelope - ask us to confirm LRM's figures, which are not published. When the moment rating decides rather than C, going one size up adds more MR than the standard block offers here, while extra carriages along the rail address tipping in the direction of travel - this code already carries two. Before ordering, confirm: the form you need (a complete set, here), size against load and moment together, carriage style and length, count and rail length, accuracy and preload weighed against installation tolerance, the grease fitting for the size, and the pairing code if any part must match an existing rail.
Quick checklist
Per standard carriage: C 37.4 kN dynamic, C0 55.0 kN static, MR / MP / My of 0.66 / 0.67 / 0.67 kN.m; N-grade running parallelism runs 12-37 um by length. Mounting uses M8 screws at 3040, 2010 and 1470 N.cm in steel, cast iron and aluminium respectively, on a shoulder of H 6.5, H1 5, H2 5 mm with a corner radius no greater than 1 mm. Grease charge 5.4 cm3 per carriage, top-up 1.7 cm3, interval 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months.
Preload removes ball clearance for stiffness but shrinks the error budget: at 500 mm rail spacing the allowable height error drops from 170 um with no preload to 90 um at medium, and allowable parallelism from 40 um to 27 um. For a long rail on a conventionally machined bed, the unfitted A grade here is usually the practical choice; specify the CN version when chatter or overhung loads demand the extra rigidity.
