The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F2L-N-C-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.
An AirTAC LSH25BK-F2L-N-C-M6 is a carriage only: the long bottom-flange block of the LSH25 series, accuracy grade N, with an M6 grease fitting and pairing code C. No rail is included, so this code suits a buyer who already has a sound LSH25 rail and needs the sliding element. The F2 flange bolts the carriage down from below through its base flange, which leaves the whole top face free for the load. Inside, four rows of recirculating balls run in X-shaped 45 degree arc raceways, so the block carries loads and overturning moments equally in all four directions and absorbs slight mounting misalignment instead of binding.
Per carriage, the long LSH25 block is rated 32.9 kN basic dynamic (C) and 53.0 kN basic static (C0), with allowable moments of 0.58 (MR), 0.57 (MP) and 0.57 (My) kN.m. Against the standard-length LSH25 carriage, the long body lifts the dynamic rating about 22 percent but the MR moment about 32 percent, so when the duty is a cantilevered or off-centre load, the extra length is doing most of the work. Size 25 rides on a 23 mm wide rail, not 25 mm, worth checking before you drill a mounting plate.

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 horizontal flow-wrapper's product pusher rides on two LSH25 blocks fixed from below, keeping grease ports and top faces clear of product dust. Ordering F2 carriages singly lets the maintenance crew renew worn blocks during a changeover without disturbing a straight 2 m rail.
One Y-axis carriage on a foam-cutting gantry has developed knock after years of dusty service. A single long F2 block with pairing code C restores the axis in minutes, and the 23 mm wide rail, still true, is kept.
During a plant shutdown, a technician swaps four worn long flange carriages on a palletising fixture. The pairing code read from the old blocks, C in this case, is the only identification needed to order exact replacements.
Start from the form: this code buys a carriage only, so it fits a repair or a spare-parts plan, not a new build. Size by load and by moment together; if the duty is light and space is tight, AirTAC LRM is the smaller step, but its load ratings are not published, so send us the duty and we will confirm suitability. When the moment governs and 0.58 kN.m is not enough, one size up to LSH30 lifts MR to 0.66 kN.m for a standard carriage, roughly 50 percent, whereas a second carriage on the same rail addresses tipping along the direction of travel instead. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity beats long recirculating travel, LGC is the alternative family. Order checklist: carriage only versus complete set, size from load and moment, F2 flange fixing from below, long length, grade N, M6 fitting, and the pairing code, which must read the same on your rail.
Quick checklist
For the F2L long block at size 25, basic dynamic load rating C is 32.9 kN and basic static C0 is 53.0 kN per carriage, with allowable static moments MR 0.58, MP 0.57 and My 0.57 kN.m. Running parallelism for N grade over its rail-length bands is 12 to 37 um. The mating rail takes M6 mounting screws torqued to 1370 N.cm in steel, 921 in cast iron or 686 in aluminium. The carriage arrives pre-filled with Mobilux EP2: 4.5 cm3 first charge for the long body, 1.4 cm3 top-up, refreshed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. On a 300 mm stroke cycled once per second, 100 km passes in about two weeks of continuous running, so the distance usually binds before the calendar.
No rail is included: LSH25BK-F2L-N-C-M6 is the carriage only, so never order it as a complete linear guide. The final letter is the pairing code, and an LSH carriage will only run as designed on an LSH25 rail carrying the same letter. Carriages and rails of the same LSH25 model are interchangeable among themselves, but this implies nothing about rails from other manufacturers. When replacing a worn block, copy the code from the old carriage or the rail's end marking; if you need rail and carriage together, order the complete-set code instead, which also carries the preload and rail length.
