The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HL2X1800S30CN-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 code, LSH25HL2X1800S30CN-M6, specifies a full AirTAC LSH axis: 1800 mm of profile rail with two long square carriages running on it, and mounting holes that begin 30 mm from each rail end - check that offset against your end stops and bellows before finalising the base drawing. Four rows of balls bear on crossed 45 degree arc raceways, two points per ball, spreading load equally in every direction and forgiving slight misalignment of the mounting plane. The size code says 25; the rail itself is 23 mm wide, so cut the clamp-down features to 23 mm geometry.
At 1800 mm this rail uses under half of the series' 4040 mm maximum length, so a longer single-piece rail exists if the machine grows. Ratings per long carriage: 32.9 kN dynamic, 53.0 kN static, and 0.58 / 0.57 / 0.57 kN.m of MR / MP / My. Preload C gives a firm, low-deflection system, but the same preload trims the allowed parallelism error to 20 um and height error to 70 um at 500 mm spacing. Note too that static capacity runs about 1.6 times dynamic here: crash and overload cases are checked against C0, while travel life is checked against C.

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 linear transfer on a bottling line: the filler head rides 1800 mm between rinse, fill and cap stations on this set, with the long carriages resisting the tipping moment of an off-axis fill nozzle.
An automotive sub-assembly fixture where a clamping bridge slides 1800 mm to present door panels to a gauging station; medium preload holds position against clamp reaction forces.
A high-cycle label head traversing a 1800 mm web path: the long carriage spreads the head's overhung weight, and at a 300 mm stroke cycling once per second the 100 km grease interval arrives in roughly two weeks of continuous running - the distance binds well before the calendar.
Choose size 25 only after checking both directions. Downwards: if the load is modest and space scarce, LRM wins on envelope, but its load figures are not published, so we confirm them for your duty before you redesign around it. Upwards: a moment demand beyond the long block's 0.58 kN.m moves you to LSH30, and where travel is short but stiffness is everything, crossed-roller LGC is the better tool. For this SKU the checklist reads: complete set - one 1800 mm rail, two long square carriages, 30 mm end offset; size validated against load and moment together; N accuracy; preload C and the tighter 20 um / 70 um installation window it implies; M6 fitting; matched set, so no pairing code is needed.
Quick checklist
Per long carriage: C 32.9 kN dynamic, C0 53.0 kN static, MR / MP / My 0.58 / 0.57 / 0.57 kN.m. N-grade running parallelism: 12-37 um across the length range. Mounting: M6 screws at 1370 / 921 / 686 N.cm (steel / cast iron / aluminium), shoulder height 6.5 mm with a corner radius of at most 1 mm. Grease: Mobilux EP2 or equivalent, 4.5 cm3 per long carriage at first charge and 1.4 cm3 top-ups, every 100 km of travel or every 3-6 months.
Medium preload raises rigidity and tightens the installation window. At 500 mm rail spacing, LSH25 with preload C tolerates 20 um of parallelism error and 70 um of height error, scaling with real spacing; a base laid out for a no-preload guide (30 um / 130 um) may fall outside this. Pull the rail fully onto its datum face and torque every M6 screw to spec - a rail not seated flat loses most of the accuracy you paid for. If your machined base is marginal, order the same set in the preload B or A variant instead.
