The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HL2X1850S25CN-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.
Order code LSH25HL2X1850S25CN-M6 buys a complete, mount-ready AirTAC LSH guide: a 1850 mm rail with hole centres starting 25 mm from each end, carrying two long square carriages. Carriage and rail are made as one system and stay interchangeable across the LSH25 family. In each block, four ball rows meet X-oriented arc raceways at 45 degrees with two contact points per ball - equal load sharing in radial, reverse-radial and both lateral directions, plus self-alignment that absorbs slight mounting error within stated limits rather than locking up. The rail is 23 mm wide despite the 25 in the code; set out your bed at 23 mm.
Per long carriage this is 32.9 kN dynamic and 53.0 kN static, with 0.58 / 0.57 / 0.57 kN.m of moment rating. A machine-economy point worth knowing: a replacement carriage alone lists at roughly a quarter of a complete set's price, so a well-kept rail on a sensible length keeps future repairs cheap. Preload C gives a firm system - expect 20 um of parallelism and 70 um of height tolerance at 500 mm spacing, the tightest of the three preload grades - so this set belongs on a properly machined and torqued base where the added rigidity pays for itself.

| 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. |
| L | Long carriage. |
| 2X1850 | 2 carriages on a 1850 mm rail. |

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.
Converting a manual knee mill's table to linear guides over a 1850 mm bed: two long carriages under the table fight the overhung moment of a heavy workpiece clamped at one end, and preload C damps the stick-slip a worn dovetail used to give.
A secondary-packaging machine that squares and pushes carton rows across a 1850 mm stroke: the long blocks carry the side thrust of misaligned cases, and a worn carriage can later be replaced on its own at about a quarter of set price.
A non-destructive testing scanner tracking a 1850 mm weld seam on large pipework: N-grade parallelism of 12-37 um is sufficient for the probe, and the M6 fitting allows quick relubrication between shifts in a hot fabrication bay.
Run the sizing both ways. Down: light duty in a cramped envelope suggests LRM, whose load ratings are unpublished - tell us the duty and we confirm them before you redesign. Up: if your cantilever load exceeds the long block's 0.58 kN.m, step to LSH30 rather than adding carriage count, since one size up buys moment capacity faster than a second carriage solves tipping along the rail; and for short travel where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than long recirculating motion, LGC is the series to compare. Ordering checklist for this exact code: complete set form; size 25 verified on load and moment; two long square carriages; 1850 mm rail with 25 mm end offset; N accuracy; preload C and its 20 um / 70 um installation window; M6 fitting; matched set, so no pairing code is needed at order time.
Quick checklist
Dynamic C 32.9 kN and static C0 53.0 kN per long carriage; moments MR 0.58 / MP 0.57 / My 0.57 kN.m; N-grade running parallelism 12-37 um by rail length; M6 mounting screws torqued to 1370 / 921 / 686 N.cm into steel, cast iron and aluminium respectively; grease Mobilux EP2 or equivalent, 4.5 cm3 first charge and 1.4 cm3 top-up per long carriage, repeated every 100 km of travel or every 3-6 months.
It depends on your base. Preload C stiffens the carriage and removes play, but on LSH25 it cuts the allowable height error to 70 um and parallelism to 20 um at 500 mm spacing, against 130 um and 30 um with no preload - a large tightening for the same part. The values scale with actual spacing, and self-alignment only absorbs error inside them. Machine the seats, keep the corner radius at or under 1 mm, pull the rail onto its datum face and torque all M6 screws; for a rough welded base, order the A or B preload variant instead.
