The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-F2N-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 replacement block: AirTAC LSH25 bottom-flange carriage, F2 style, standard length, P accuracy, M6 grease nipple, pairing code B. This is the carriage only - the rail is not part of the delivery. Four rows of recirculating balls run at a 45 degree contact angle in crossed arc raceways, equal capacity in all four directions, with self-alignment that absorbs slight seat errors within the limits the size allows.
The P grade is the reason to pick this code over an N block: assembled with a P rail, running parallelism tightens to the 3-21 um band, against 12-37 um for normal grade. Per-carriage ratings stay at 26.9 kN dynamic and 39.4 kN static, with 0.44 kN.m MR and 0.38 kN.m MP and My. Accuracy is only realised if the rail is pulled flat against its datum face and torqued correctly - the manufacturer flags this as a major influence on the achieved result.

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 gauge-calibration bench in a metrology lab moves a probe carriage over a fixed span all day. The P grade's 3-21 um parallelism band, paired with a P rail, keeps the probe path repeatable between annual calibrations.
A glass-panel handling frame in a display factory needs its edge guides flush with the frame top, so the F2 flange bolts from underneath. Precision grade limits runout so the vacuum cups pick panels without skew.
A solder-paste dispensing head on a PCB gantry cycles short, fast strokes continuously. The distance-based grease interval arrives quickly at that duty, so the M6 nipple is serviced on the calendar too, at least every 3 to 6 months.
Buy P when the machine's drawing demands it, not out of habit: metrology frames, precision stages, and any rebuild where the original spec calls a P rail. The carriage and the rail must both be P and share pairing code B for the tighter parallelism to hold. Light duty in a compact envelope can step down to LRM, whose load ratings are unpublished, so we confirm them for your duty. Short-stroke work needing crossed-roller stiffness steps across to LGC, and moment-heavy cantilevers step up to the long LSH25L body at 0.58 kN.m MR. Ordering checklist: carriage only, no rail; size 25 (23 mm rail width); F2 bottom flange; standard length; P accuracy; M6 nipple; pairing code B.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: C 26.9 kN dynamic, C0 39.4 kN static, moments MR 0.44, MP 0.38, My 0.38 kN.m. Accuracy grade P: assembled running parallelism in the 3-21 um band by rail length (normal grade spans 12-37 um). Rail mounting: M6 screws at 1370 N.cm into steel, 921 cast iron, 686 aluminium. Lubrication: Mobilux EP2 pre-fill of 3.6 cm3, top-up 1.1 cm3, every 100 km or every 3 to 6 months. If oil is preferred, size 25 starts at 0.9 cm3 with a 0.3 cm3/h feed rate.
It is a carriage only. BK marks the block; no rail ships with it and the code should never be read as a complete set. The pairing letter B ties this block to a B-coded rail, and mismatched codes give up the rated running quality. The P accuracy claim also depends on the rail: a P block running over an N rail produces N-grade travel. Confirm the grade and code stamped on your existing rail before ordering, and note the carriage code carries no preload position - that is specified on complete-set codes.
