The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F1N-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.
This is the block alone: an AirTAC LSH25BK-F1N-H-D-M6 high-accuracy top-flange carriage with pairing code D and an M6 grease point. The order code contains no rail, and no rail ships with it - pair it with a D-marked LSH25 rail, whose true width is 23 mm, not 25. Four rows of recirculating balls bear on 45 degree X-shaped arc grooves, so downward, sideways and lift-off loads all meet the same capacity, and small flatness errors in the mounting face are taken up inside the carriage rather than causing bind.
For a cantilevered or overhung load, the number that decides is MR: 0.44 kN.m here, with MP and My at 0.38 kN.m, on a static base of C0 39.4 kN and a dynamic rating of C 26.9 kN. The H grade holds running parallelism between 7 and 28 um depending on rail length. If the overhang keeps growing, remember that the long LSH25L carriage raises MR to 0.58 kN.m - about a third more moment on the same rail width.

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.
An automated optical inspection station hangs its camera head on a short cantilever off the scan axis. This D-paired carriage carries the moment at the mount, and the high accuracy grade keeps the optics' position repeatable frame to frame.
A case packer's pusher slide runs flange blocks against a D-coded rail. Replacing just the block - at roughly a quarter of a full set's price - squares the pusher up again after the old raceways have brinelled.
A wire-processing machine's straightener head sits off-axis from its slide, so moment governs the sizing. This carriage's 0.44 kN.m MR and top flange suit the head's clamp plate, which bolts down from above.
Overhung loads - a camera arm, a gripper at the end of a slide - should be sized on MR before C: this block carries 0.44 kN.m, and stepping one size up to LSH30 lifts that to 0.66 kN.m, roughly 50 percent more moment capacity for one part. If travel life governs instead, work from the dynamic C 26.9 kN rather than the larger C0 39.4 kN; static sits near 1.5 times dynamic across the range, which is exactly why buyers sometimes read the wrong column.
When the duty is light and the envelope tight, ask about LRM - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them for your application. For short travels needing crossed-roller rigidity rather than long recirculating travel, LGC is the cross-over option. Before ordering, run the checklist: carriage-only form, size by load and moment, F1 flange with standard N length, block count and rail length, H accuracy, M6 fitting position, and pairing letter D matched to your rail. Preload is not a position in this carriage code; it is chosen on complete sets, where grades B and C add rigidity but shrink the mounting error the guide will tolerate.
Quick checklist
Dynamic load C is 26.9 kN and static C0 is 39.4 kN per carriage. Moment limits are MR 0.44, MP 0.38 and My 0.38 kN.m. The high accuracy grade runs at 7-28 um parallelism depending on rail length. The paired LSH25 rail bolts down with M6 screws torqued to 1370, 921 and 686 N.cm on steel, cast iron and aluminium. Grease is Mobilux EP2 as supplied - 3.6 cm3 first fill, 1.1 cm3 top-up - refreshed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first.
One carriage. There is no rail in this order code and none in the parcel. AirTAC gives LSH carriages and rails of the same model a shared pairing letter so a block keeps its smoothness, preload and accuracy on any matching rail; this one is coded D and must be mounted on a D-coded LSH25 rail. Take the letter from your original part's ordering code - guessing from measurements is how mismatched pairs get ordered.
