The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F1L-H-D-M6 is a standard-type profile linear guide on a 23 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.
One AirTAC LSH25 carriage, top-flange F1 style, long body, high accuracy grade, with an M6 lubrication point - and nothing else, because this is a part order, not a set. The profile rail is bought separately and must bear the same pairing letter, D here. Four rows of balls bear on X-shaped 45 degree arc grooves at a 45 degree contact angle, so downward load, uplift and side thrust all meet the same capacity, and slight misalignment of the mounting faces is taken up inside the block instead of binding the ball circuit. Despite the 25 in the size code, the rail that accepts this block is 23 mm wide - check that before cutting your mounting plate.
Static capacity is the headline: C0 is 53.0 kN against a dynamic C of 32.9 kN, a ratio of about 1.6 that matters wherever the block sits dwelled under load or takes shock, since C0 - not C - limits permanent raceway deformation. Moment ratings run MR 0.58 kN.m with MP and My at 0.57 kN.m each. One fitting caution that applies to every flange block: side-entry grease nipples are not recommended on F1, F2 or F3 carriages because the fitting can foul adjacent structure, so plan the lubrication access before you close up the machine.

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 stocked 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.
Dust-laden blocks on a nesting router's Y-rails usually wear out long before the hardened rails do; swapping in this long F1 carriage restores 53.0 kN of static capacity at roughly a quarter of the cost of a complete new set.
A packaging crosshead that dwells under load at each glue station loads its guide statically for seconds at a time; the 53.0 kN C0 of this long block carries that dwell without brinelling the raceways.
Fitting a long top-flange carriage to a laser marking gantry raises moment capacity to 0.58 kN.m MR, letting the marking head overhang further from the guide without tipping under its own cable harness.
Because this is a replacement part, start with the letter and the body style, then justify the size. Long body already chosen: it lifts the standard LSH25 moment rating from 0.44 to 0.58 kN.m, which is the right move whenever a cantilevered load governs. If the real duty is light and space is at a premium, the LRM series steps down in envelope - its ratings are not published, so we confirm them for your case rather than guess. Where the travel is short and the job wants crossed-roller rigidity instead of long recirculating travel, price LGC alongside. If even 0.58 kN.m leaves little margin, move up to LSH30 rather than stacking risk on this size.
Before ordering, run the checklist: carriage-only form confirmed, size justified by load and moment together, F1 top-flange long body, accuracy H, M6 grease point, and the pairing code - the rail must carry the same D, otherwise the block will not seat with its intended preload and running quality.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: dynamic rating C 32.9 kN, static rating C0 53.0 kN, moments MR 0.58 kN.m, MP 0.57 kN.m, My 0.57 kN.m. Grade H running parallelism spans 7 to 28 um depending on rail length. The matching size 25 rail uses M6 mounting screws torqued to 1370 N.cm on steel, 921 N.cm on cast iron, 686 N.cm on aluminium. Grease: Mobilux EP2 or equivalent, 4.5 cm3 first charge in the long body, 1.4 cm3 top-up, re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
Just the carriage. No rail ships with this code, and the ordering string has no preload position - preload on LSH is specified on complete-set codes. The pairing code D is the link: your replacement block must match a rail stamped with the same letter, which is why you should read the code off the old carriage or the rail end before ordering.
