The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Block LSH25BK-HL-P-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.
This listing is the carriage only. LSH25BK-HL-P-C-M6 is an AirTAC LSH25 long square carriage, precision accuracy grade, pairing code C, with an M6 grease nipple. No rail is supplied and no rail length is implied - buy the matching C-coded rail separately or confirm the letter on your existing rail. The block rides on four rows of recirculating balls seated in X-shaped 45 degree raceways, so it carries load up, down and sideways at equal rating and absorbs slight mounting-surface error internally instead of binding. The LSH25 rail it mates with is 23 mm wide, not 25.
The long body is the point: per carriage it rates 32.9 kN dynamic, 53.0 kN static and 0.58 kN.m MR moment, against 26.9 kN and 0.44 kN.m for the standard LSH25 block. That is about 22 percent more load capacity but 32 percent more roll moment - so where a cantilevered or overhung part tips the carriage, the long body usually fixes it before a bigger size is needed. Note too that 53.0 kN static sits around 1.6 times the dynamic rating; travel life is sized on C, not on the bigger C0.

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 spindle head hanging off the side of a router gantry sees roll moment every time the tool bites. This long LSH25 block lifts MR to 0.58 kN.m over the standard body, holding the head square without moving to a bigger rail.
Where an overhung arm loads one end of a slide, moment decides the size, not the weight. At 0.58 kN.m MR this carriage carries the overhang that would tip a standard LSH25 block rated at 0.44 kN.m.
Upgrading an older bench slide to precision grade: this P-rated block, matched to its C-coded rail, keeps measured travel inside the 3 to 21 um precision band across the rail length.
Price this against the alternatives in both directions. Down: AirTAC LRM suits lighter duties in a tighter envelope, but its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them with the maker before you commit. Across: LGC crossed rollers win when travel is short and rigidity per millimetre matters more than long recirculating run. Up: LSH30 if the moment here still falls short. Your checklist for this item: form is carriage only; size chosen on load and moment together - 32.9 kN and 0.58 kN.m MR; body is long square, grade P accuracy; one block, order a second if the load tips along the travel; accuracy and preload are finally fixed on the complete set, where a tighter preload buys rigidity but narrows the allowed mounting error; M6 fitting family covers sizes 20 to 35; rail must be marked with pairing code C.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: dynamic C 32.9 kN, static C0 53.0 kN, allowable moments MR 0.58, MP 0.57 and My 0.57 kN.m. Precision grade running parallelism falls in a 3 to 21 um band depending on rail length. Rail screws are M6, torqued to 1370 N.cm in steel, 921 in cast iron and 686 in aluminium. Grease: 4.5 cm3 first charge, 1.4 cm3 top-up, renewed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
No rail is included - this listing is the long square carriage by itself. The C is its pairing code and the rail it runs on must carry the same letter, marked on the rail end and shown on the original order. Once the letters match, a same-model LSH carriage holds its smoothness, preload class and accuracy on that rail.
