The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25BK-HN-H-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.
One AirTAC LSH25 square carriage, high accuracy, M6 fitting, pairing code D - and nothing else. No rail ships with this code. The compact H body in standard N length rides four rows of recirculating balls set in crossed 45 degree arc raceways, giving equal capacity radial, reverse-radial and sideways, and it self-aligns by absorbing small mounting errors inside the block. Fitted to a 23 mm wide LSH25 rail (the true rail width; the 25 in the code is a size series, not a measurement).
Why buy a carriage alone? A carriage-only part typically costs about a quarter of a complete set, so when the rail is undamaged, swapping the block is the economic repair. This one is rated 26.9 kN dynamic C and 39.4 kN static C0, with moments MR 0.44, MP 0.38, My 0.38 kN.m - identical to a new set's carriage, since LSH carriages of the same model are interchangeable and keep their preload and accuracy on any rail of that model. The D pairing code must match the rail.

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.
Horizontal packaging machines run square carriages around the sealing and forming heads, where grease dries out and contamination scores the balls; a single pairing-D carriage brings the station back without touching the frame.
During a plasma cutting gantry overhaul, blocks that failed inspection can be renewed individually; this H grade carriage arrives pre-filled with 3.6 cm3 of Mobilux EP2 and bolts onto the existing 23 mm rail.
Pusher and gate actuators on bottling lines see side impacts every cycle; the 39.4 kN static rating of a new block absorbs the shock loads that brinelled the old carriage's raceways.
If the rail on your machine still passes a finger-and-eye inspection, replacing the block alone is the economic repair - a carriage-only part typically costs about a quarter of a complete set. Confirm the pairing letter is D, then check size by load and moment: 26.9 kN dynamic for life, 39.4 kN static for shock and held loads. Light, compact duty points down to LRM, whose load ratings are unpublished and confirmed per enquiry; short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness points across to LGC; a marginal MR 0.44 kN.m points up to the long LSH25 carriage at 0.58 kN.m or to LSH30 at 0.66 kN.m. Checklist: carriage-only form, size 25, square H standard body, H grade, M6 fitting, pairing code D.
Quick checklist
Per carriage: C 26.9 kN dynamic, C0 39.4 kN static, and static moments of 0.44 kN.m MR, 0.38 kN.m MP and 0.38 kN.m My. Accuracy grade H gives 7 to 28 um running parallelism. The rail underneath uses M6 screws at 1370 N.cm on steel, 921 N.cm on cast iron and 686 N.cm on aluminium. Lubrication is 3.6 cm3 on first charge, 1.1 cm3 per top-up, and re-greasing every 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months.
Because a carriage-only part typically costs about a quarter of a complete set, replacing a worn block on a sound rail is the economical repair. This code contains one square H carriage, standard length, H accuracy, M6 fitting - and no rail. Its pairing code is D; LSH rails and carriages must share that letter to run together, so copy it from your old part. Note that static rating is about 1.5 times dynamic across this range, so size life on C, not on the bigger C0.
