The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F1N-N-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.
What arrives is one AirTAC LSH25 carriage block: F1 top-flange pattern for bolting down from above, standard length, normal accuracy, M6 grease fitting. There is no rail in this order and this code does not describe one. Inside the block, four ball rows run in opposed 45 degree arc raceways with two contact points per ball, giving equal capacity up, down and sideways plus enough self-alignment to swallow small datum errors in the surface beneath it. The true rail width at size 25 is 23 mm.
The numbers that size this block: 26.9 kN basic dynamic load, 39.4 kN static, moment limits of 0.44 kN.m MR against 0.38 kN.m MP and My. For an overhung load the MR figure often calls the shot - a long block would raise MR to 0.58 kN.m, a 32 percent gain, while dynamic capacity climbs only about 22 percent, so moment usually decides before C does. The D in this code is a pairing letter, not a preload grade: preload is fixed when block meets rail and never appears in a carriage-only order code.

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.
A conveyorized paint booth's counterbalanced access door runs on two of these F1 blocks, one per rail, so the tipping moment of the overhanging door is shared instead of loading a single block's 0.44 kN.m MR alone.
A toolroom rebuilding a surface grinder worktable fits new size 25 blocks, pulls the top flanges down onto the machined pads at the specified M6 torque and charges 3.6 cm3 of grease per block before the first grinding pass.
On a packaging machine's case pusher, a cracked block is swapped for this D-coded spare, the 26.9 kN dynamic rating covering the cyclic pushing load with margin to spare.
Size by moment first if the load hangs off the block. One LSH25 block carries MR 0.44 kN.m; if that is marginal, a second block on the same rail addresses tipping along the travel far more cheaply than jumping a size - going up to LSH30 lifts MR only to 0.66 kN.m, about 50 percent, and drags in a new 28 mm rail width. Downward, light duties with a slim envelope suit AirTAC LRM, whose ratings are unpublished - send the duty and we confirm them. Short-stroke stages wanting crossed-roller rigidity belong with LGC instead.
Before ordering, tick off: carriage-only form, size against both C and MR, F1 flange orientation, standard versus long, block count and rail length, accuracy and preload grade together with the mounting tolerance each costs you, M6 fitting, and the pairing letter - D on this listing, and the same letter must appear on the rail it mates with.
Quick checklist
Per block: dynamic 26.9 kN, static 39.4 kN, moments 0.44 kN.m (MR) and 0.38 kN.m (MP and My). N-grade parallelism runs 12-37 um across the rail length bands. Fixing screws M6 at 1370 N.cm steel, 921 cast iron, 686 aluminium. Lubrication 3.6 cm3 to fill, 1.1 cm3 to top up, re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Carriage only - pair with a D-coded LSH25 rail.
Carriage-only codes carry no preload position at all - preload is created by matching this block to a rail, so it belongs to the pair, not to the part. The box holds one top-flange block with M6 fitting, normal accuracy and pairing letter D, and no rail. Order the same letter on your rail, or read the letter off the rail you already have before buying.
