The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F1N-P-E-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.
The LSH25BK-F1N-P-E-M6 is one F1 top-flange carriage, standard length, in size 25 with pairing code E, listed as a single block with no rail attached. Carriages of one LSH model are interchangeable: this block will run on any LSH25 rail of the model and retain its smoothness, preload and accuracy, which is what makes part-only buying practical. Four rows of balls circulate through X-shaped arc raceways contacting at 45 degrees, two points per ball, so thrust from above, below or sideways is carried evenly and small mounting errors are soaked up rather than turned into binding. The rail width is 23 mm even though the size code says 25.
Figures per carriage: 26.9 kN basic dynamic, 39.4 kN basic static, moments 0.44 kN.m MR / 0.38 kN.m MP / 0.38 kN.m My, precision (P) grade. The 100 km re-grease interval is shorter than it sounds: a 300 mm stroke cycling once per second covers 100 km in roughly two weeks of continuous running, so on a fast axis the distance limit arrives well before the 3 to 6 month calendar limit.

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.
| LSH | LSH Series Linear Guide. |
|---|---|
| 25 | Size code — note the rail is 23 mm wide, not 25 mm. |
| BK | Carriage / block only — no rail supplied. |
| H / F1 / F2 / F3 | Carriage style: square, or flange mounted from the top, bottom, or both. |
| N | Standard carriage. |

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.
Replacing the carrier under a lens holder on an optical bench translator: the P grade suits an application where repeatability matters more than raw speed.
A filling head that traverses across bottle necks rides on a short LSH25 rail; a fresh carriage restores smooth indexing without touching the rail itself.
Makers upgrading a hobby CNC router X-axis can bolt this top-flange carriage under the gantry plate, with 0.44 kN.m MR handling the tipping from an off-centre spindle.
Economics first: a carriage runs at roughly a quarter of the price of a complete set, so if the rail is undamaged and true, replacing the block is usually the repair that makes sense. Confirm the pairing letter on your rail reads E before you order, because a mismatched code will not seat properly. For lighter duties in tighter envelopes, LRM is the step down - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them for you - and for short strokes needing crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the step across. Sizing on LSH itself: judge load and moment together, since moment usually calls the size on cantilevered tools. Checklist: form (carriage only), size, carriage style and length, count and rail length, accuracy grade, grease fitting (M6 belongs to size 25), and pairing code E.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: basic dynamic load 26.9 kN (C), basic static 39.4 kN (C0), static moment limits MR 0.44 kN.m, MP 0.38 kN.m, My 0.38 kN.m, precision (P) accuracy paired with rails at 3 to 21 um running parallelism by length band. Rail screws: M6, 1370 N.cm steel, 921 N.cm cast iron, 686 N.cm aluminium. Lubrication: Mobilux EP2 or equivalent, 3.6 cm3 first charge and 1.1 cm3 top-up, re-applied every 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first.
One carriage: the F1 top-flange, standard-length block, size 25, with pairing code E. No rail is supplied and nothing about this code describes a rail. If your rail carries a different pairing letter, this block is not its match - codes must agree between rail and carriage - so either read the letter off the original part or send us the full code and we will point you to the right one.
