The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F2N-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.
Order this code and you receive one AirTAC LSH25 bottom-flange carriage, F2 style, standard length, normal accuracy, with an M6 grease nipple and pairing code D. It is a replacement part, not a set: there is no rail and no mounting hardware in the box. The block rides the rail on four ball rows set at a 45 degree contact angle in crossed arc grooves, giving equal capacity whichever way the load pushes, with enough internal compliance to forgive slight surface errors.
The economics favour part replacement. A carriage on its own lists at roughly a quarter of a complete set, so when a D-coded rail is still straight and clean, renewing the block is the cheaper repair. This size delivers 26.9 kN dynamic and 39.4 kN static per carriage, with a 0.44 kN.m MR moment - figures that suit mid-size machine slides rather than light gantries.

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.
During a rebuild of a knee mill's servo X-axis, the original blocks are often brinelled after years of duty. Fresh D-coded carriages bolt to the saddle from beneath, and the rebuilt axis runs on its existing rails.
A star-wheel adjuster on a bottling line repositions quickly between bottle sizes. Greasing at the M6 nipple every 100 km or 3 to 6 months keeps the slide free, and a D-coded carriage held as a spare cuts the stop when one finally wears.
The diverter gate on a parcel conveyor slides on a size 25 guide. Bottom-flange mounting hides the fixings under the gate plate, and the 39.4 kN static rating absorbs the shock when a jam stops the gate dead.
Start from the failure, not the catalogue. If the rail shows corrosion pits, score marks or a visible dip, replace the complete set, because a fresh carriage on a damaged rail inherits the damage. If the rail is sound, this carriage renews the guide at a fraction of set cost. Light duty in a small envelope steps down to LRM, whose load ratings are unpublished, so we confirm them for you. When the 0.44 kN.m MR needs to grow, the long LSH25L body reaches 0.58 kN.m, and LGC suits short strokes where crossed-roller stiffness beats long recirculating travel. Checklist: carriage only, size 25, F2 bottom flange, standard length, N accuracy, M6 nipple, pairing code D.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: 26.9 kN dynamic C, 39.4 kN static C0, moments of 0.44 kN.m MR and 0.38 kN.m MP and My. Assembled with a normal grade rail, running parallelism sits in the 12-37 um band by rail length. Rail screws are M6 at 1370 / 921 / 686 N.cm on steel, cast iron and aluminium. Lubrication is Mobilux EP2 or equivalent: 3.6 cm3 first charge, 1.1 cm3 top-up, renewed every 100 km or 3 to 6 months. A 300 mm stroke cycling once a second covers 100 km in roughly two weeks of continuous running, so the distance limit usually binds before the calendar does.
One bottom-flange carriage, standard length, normal accuracy, M6 nipple. No rail is supplied, and the code is not a complete guide. The pairing letter D is the fit key: LSH rails and carriages carry matching codes, and a D carriage is meant for a D rail. If your rail's code differs, order the carriage with that code instead - mixing codes gives up the rated running quality. The carriage code carries no preload position either, so check what your original set specified before fitting.
