The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F1N-P-B-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.
A precision-grade spare block, sold on its own: AirTAC LSH25 carriage, F1 top-flange mounting, standard length, P accuracy, M6 fitting, pairing letter B. No rail forms part of this order. The P grade narrows running parallelism to a 3-21 um band - against 12-37 um for normal grade - which is exactly why this block is the one to hold as a spare for measuring and inspecting machines. Size 25 rails are 23 mm wide; do not lay out a mounting pad from the size code alone.
Ratings are untouched by the accuracy grade: 26.9 kN dynamic, 39.4 kN static, 0.44/0.38/0.38 kN.m MR/MP/My per block. What P costs is installation care - the tighter the grade, and the tighter any preload on the mated rail, the less mounting error the pair forgives, so datum flatness and correct M6 screw torque matter more on this block than on an N-grade line.

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 materials lab's profilometer stage keeps a B-coded P-grade spare so a damaged block can be exchanged without re-qualifying the 3-21 um straightness of the measurement axis.
On an electronics fab's overhead vision gantry, a precision block replacement preserves camera-to-panel repeatability where a normal-grade swap would drift by tens of um over the stroke.
A machine tool retrofit slides its linear encoder scale on size 25 P-grade blocks; renewing the block restores the sub-10 um alignment the scale reading head expects.
Swap precision for precision: a machine built on P-grade rails deserves a P-grade replacement block, and the pairing letter B must match the rail. Read both off the old block's marking before ordering. An N block would fit mechanically but would widen the machine's parallelism band to 12-37 um - usually unacceptable on a gauge or inspection axis, where a few um of drift shows up directly in the measurement.
Duty lighter and space tighter? AirTAC LRM, ratings unpublished, confirmed on enquiry. Crossed-roller stiffness over a short stroke? LGC. More moment on a long overhang? The long size 25 block at MR 0.58 kN.m versus 0.44. Full checklist: form (carriage only), size by load and moment, flange pattern and length, block count and rail length, accuracy P and the preload-versus-mounting-tolerance trade-off, M6 fitting, pairing code B.
Quick checklist
Load and lubrication figures stay at the size 25 standard-length values: C 26.9 kN, C0 39.4 kN, MR/MP/My 0.44/0.38/0.38 kN.m, 3.6 cm3 grease fill and 1.1 cm3 top-up at 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 month intervals. The accuracy band tightens from 12-37 um to 3-21 um running parallelism. M6 fixing screws still torque to 1370 N.cm on steel, 921 on cast iron, 686 on aluminium. Block only - no rail, and the rail must be lettered B.
One LSH25 top-flange carriage block, P grade, M6 fitting, pairing code B. That is all - there is no rail, so this code must not be treated as a guide. Find the letter stamped or printed on your existing rail; only a B-lettered LSH25 rail will preserve this block's rated preload and precision. Preload itself is never written into a carriage code - it exists in the block-rail pair once they are mated.
