Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-M6
The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-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.

About the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-M6
Complete and ready to mount, this is one AirTAC LSH25 top-flange carriage on a 160 mm profile rail with a 20 mm end-hole offset, ordered under code LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-M6. Size 25 runs on a rail 23 mm wide, not 25, so confirm the mating slot spacing before you machine. Inside the carriage, four rows of recirculating balls sit in X-arranged arc raceways cut at a 45 degree contact angle: loading is equal up, down and sideways, and slight mounting-surface error is taken up inside the block rather than showing up as bind.
Ratings for this standard-length carriage are 26.9 kN dynamic (C) and 39.4 kN static (C0), with moments of MR 0.44, MP 0.38 and My 0.38 kN.m. C0 sits roughly 1.5 times above C, which is why you size travel life on C and treat the static figure as your shock reserve. This set is grade A (no preload) and grade N (normal accuracy), the most forgiving combination to install, and the carriage comes pre-filled with Mobilux EP2 through an M6 fitting.

| 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. |
| 1X160 | 1 carriage on a 160 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| A | A — no preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |

Where the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-M6 Is Used
Compact pick-and-place arm
A 160 mm stroke suits a benchtop pick-and-place shifting connector housings from a vibratory feeder to a test nest, with the gripper plate bolted down through the F1 top flange.
Desktop CNC router axis
On a small router machining hardwood or aluminium, the 23 mm rail and 26.9 kN dynamic rating carry the cutting thrust of small end mills along this 160 mm axis.
Dispensing valve slide
A metering valve mounted on this carriage traces a 160 mm bead over electronics housings; the top flange lets the valve bracket bolt straight down without adapters.
Is the Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-M6 the Right Guide?
Step down to the LRM series if your duty is light and the envelope is tight - LRM load ratings are not published, so we will confirm them against your duty before quoting. Step up to LSH30, or to the long LSH25 carriage, when the moment figure rather than C decides; step across to LGC when travel is short and you want crossed-roller stiffness instead of long recirculating travel. Before ordering, tick off: complete set, carriage or rail; size chosen on load AND moment; carriage style and length; carriage count and rail length; accuracy grade and preload, weighed against the installation tolerance you can actually hold; grease fitting; and the pairing code if you are replacing one part of an existing guide.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Complete set, carriage only, or rail only?
- ✓ Worst-case moment, not just straight load
- ✓ Travel length and mounting space
- ✓ Accuracy grade and preload
- ✓ Mounting surface ground or finish-milled
- ✓ Pairing code, if replacing a part
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled.
- check Torque the rail screws per the recommended figures, in sequence.
- check Keep the mounting corner radius inside the stated R maximum.
- check Do not angle the carriage onto the rail; balls can drop out.
- check Drive the supplied bolt caps into the mounting holes.
- check Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3–6 months.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F1N1X160S20AN-M6 FAQ
Per carriage: dynamic rating C 26.9 kN, static C0 39.4 kN, moments MR 0.44 / MP 0.38 / My 0.38 kN.m. Normal accuracy runs a parallelism band of 12-37 um. Mount the rail with M6 screws torqued to 1370 N.cm in steel, 921 in cast iron or 686 in aluminium. The carriage is charged with 3.6 cm3 of Mobilux EP2; top up 1.1 cm3 every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
This SKU is a complete set: a 160 mm rail plus one F1 top-flange carriage already fitted, with bolt caps for the rail screw holes. Carriages are interchangeable within the same LSH25 model - a spare block will keep its smoothness, preload and accuracy on this rail. If you later order a carriage only, you will need the pairing code; on flange carriages, side grease nipples are not recommended because the fitting can foul the block.
