The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25F2N2X3460S20AN-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.
Long-travel complete set: a 3460 mm rail at the 23 mm width true to size 25, carrying two standard-length F2 bottom-flange carriages. The rail sits close to the 4040 mm maximum length for this size, leaving 580 mm of headroom if a later rebuild needs a longer stroke from the same family. Four rows of balls circulate through X-placed 45 degree arc raceways with two contact points each, so downward, upward and side loads all draw on one rating figure, and internal self-alignment takes up slight errors along a long fabricated base without the blocks seizing.
Figures per carriage: 26.9 kN dynamic, 39.4 kN static, 0.44 kN.m MR and 0.38 kN.m MP and My. Accuracy is N grade with a 12-37 um running parallelism band, and with no preload the installation tolerance is the most generous in this series: 30 um parallel and 130 um height error allowed at 500 mm spacing, scaling with actual spacing. That combination suits a long base that is machined rather than ground, where absolute straightness over 3.5 m is hard to hold.

| 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. |
| 2X3460 | 2 carriages on a 3460 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. |

Rail and carriage(s) supplied together, matched as a set. 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 pallet cart running down a 3.4 m station line rides two blocks per rail, with the no-preload grade forgiving the tolerances of a long fabricated track bed.
A sliding guard gate or product diverter along an assembly line uses the full 3.4 m stroke; the N grade matches the accuracy of a painted steel line frame.
A wide-format cutting or plotting machine runs its beam on two carriages over long rails, where the no-preload grade eases assembly across a long aluminium bed.
For a long stroke at modest precision this configuration is the direct match; the checklist runs: complete-set form, size 25 against load and moment, F2 flange, standard length, two carriages, 3460 mm rail, N grade, preload A, M6 fitting. If the application is light and space is tight, look at LRM, remembering its load ratings are not published and we confirm them per enquiry. A payload with a long overhang argues for the long carriage, where MR rises to 0.58 kN.m, or for wider block spacing. Where travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity beats recirculating travel, LGC is the cross-grade option. Anyone replacing a component on an existing machine should read the pairing code off the old part first.
Quick checklist
Per standard carriage: C 26.9 kN dynamic, C0 39.4 kN static, moments MR 0.44 / MP 0.38 / My 0.38 kN.m. N grade running parallelism covers 12-37 um depending on rail length. Mounting uses M6 screws at 1370 N.cm (steel), 921 N.cm (cast iron) or 686 N.cm (aluminium). Grease charge is 3.6 cm3 per carriage with 1.1 cm3 top-ups, Mobilux EP2 or equivalent, repeated every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever occurs first.
The delivery holds the 3460 mm rail and two F2 carriages as one matched set, plus bolt caps for the screw holes; without the caps seated flush below the rail top face, swarf enters the ball circuit. Preload A means the ball rows run with clearance rather than pre-tension, trading some rigidity for the widest installation latitude in the series: 30 um parallelism and 130 um height error allowed at 500 mm spacing, scaling with actual spacing. For most long fabricated bases that trade is the right one, and H or P grades with B or C preload remain orderable when a rebuild needs more stiffness.
