The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F2N-N-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.
This is the normal-accuracy version of the AirTAC size 25 bottom-flange carriage: one F2 block, standard length, M6 nipple, pairing code B, and no rail anywhere in the order. Where the H grade holds running parallelism to 7-28 um, this N grade spans 12-37 um - a band that most machine frames, conveyors and handling structures cannot exploit anyway, which is why it prices lower. Four rows of balls circulate through 45 degree X-pattern arc raceways, two-point contact per ball, equal capacity in every direction, self-aligning within the catalogue's modest installation tolerances.
Ratings are identical to the higher grades because they come from the geometry, not the finish: 26.9 kN dynamic and 39.4 kN static per block, MR 0.44 kN.m, MP and My 0.38 kN.m. For a worn carriage on a general-duty machine, a carriage swap runs to roughly a quarter of a complete set's price - usually the economic repair, provided the 23 mm rail is undamaged and the pairing letter is known.

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. |

| H / F1 / F2 / F3 | Carriage style: square, or flange mounted from the top, bottom, or both. |
| N | Standard carriage. |
| N | N — normal grade. |
| Pairing code | Rails and carriages must share a pairing code. Take it from the original part when replacing. |
| -M4 / -M6 / -A01… | Grease nipple or tube-fitting type. Restricted by size: size 15 the M4 family, 20–35 the M6 family, 45 the PT1/8 family. |

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 automatic storage shuttle or transfer car running on 25 mm rails sees shock loads rather than sub-micron precision demands; a normal-grade block coded B keeps spare-part cost down across a fleet.
Cutting-line pushers on aluminium saws take heavy side loads; fitting a fresh N-grade block restores the 39.4 kN static margin after a crash, often without changing the rail.
Looms and winders cycle their guides millions of times at modest precision demands; a normal-grade carriage replacement keeps both downtime and part cost low.
Pick N grade when the machine's frame accuracy, not the guide, sets the limit; keep H or P for metrology and precision stages. If the duty is light and compact, LRM may be the better fit - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them for you before ordering. Moment-heavy cantilevers argue for the long LSH25 block (MR 0.58 kN.m) or one size up; short travel that needs crossed-roller rigidity calls for LGC instead.
Checklist before you buy: carriage only, no rail; size 25 sized on load and moment together; F2 flange, bolts from below; standard length; one block; accuracy N; M6 fitting; pairing code B read from the original rail.
Quick checklist
C 26.9 kN dynamic, C0 39.4 kN static, moments MR 0.44, MP 0.38 and My 0.38 kN.m. N-grade running parallelism 12-37 um across the rail length bands. Rail screws M6 at 1370 N.cm (steel), 921 (cast iron), 686 (aluminium). Grease: 3.6 cm3 charge, 1.1 cm3 top-up, every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, Mobilux EP2 or equivalent.
Only the carriage. The rail is a separate SKU and must also be coded B for the two to run together; read the letter off the rail end, the end cap label or the original box. Within LSH25 of this model, any block fits any rail of the same pairing code with its smoothness and accuracy intact - that interchangeability does not extend to other manufacturers' rails.
