The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HL2X840S30CN-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.
A complete matched set in the LSH series: an 840 mm rail of true 23 mm width (the size 25 code is not the width) carrying two long square carriages, with M6 lubrication fittings, accuracy grade N and medium preload C. Four rows of recirculating balls bear on X-shaped arc raceways at 45 degrees with two contact points per ball, giving equal capacity radially, laterally and inverted, plus self-alignment that soaks up small errors in the mounting face instead of turning them into binding.
On an 840 mm rail, two long carriages spaced apart are the practical answer to tipping: each carries C 32.9 kN, C0 53.0 kN and moment ratings of MR 0.58, MP 0.57, My 0.57 kN.m, and the pair resists rocking along the travel in a way a single centred block cannot. Grade C preload suits a compact axis like this because short strokes mean constant direction changes - just budget for the tighter fit-up, with allowable height error between rails at 70 um per 500 mm spacing against 130 um for an unloaded set.

|---|---|
| 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. |
| 2X840 | 2 carriages on a 840 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| C | C — medium preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |
| N | N — normal grade. |
| -M4 / -M6 / -A01… | Grease nipple or tube-fitting type. Restricted by size: size 15 the M4 family, 20–35 the M6 family, 45 the PT1/8 family. |

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 pusher indexing cartons off a conveyor runs a short reversing stroke all day; grade C preload removes the direction-change knock and the two spaced blocks stop the pusher arm from racking.
An 840 mm X-axis under a vacuum gripper in a small assembly cell gains moment headroom from the long carriages without moving up to size 30 and its wider 28 mm rail footprint.
A machine builder specifying a repeatable 840 mm feed axis for an end-of-line tester pairs grade N accuracy with C preload to hold position through thousands of reversals per shift.
At 840 mm this rail sits far inside the 4040 mm single-rail maximum for size 25, so a different length remains an easy order later - LSH carriages are interchangeable between rails of the same model and keep their preload and smoothness. Size the axis by moment first: the long carriage's 0.58 kN.m MR is about a third more than a standard LSH25 block's 0.44, and note that static C0 runs near 1.6 times the dynamic rating here, so a crash or dropped load hits C0 first while travel life is governed by C. For lighter duties in a tighter envelope step down to LRM (ratings unpublished - we confirm them by enquiry); for very short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness step across to LGC. Checklist: form (set, both carriages included), size 25, style H and length L, count 2 on an 840 mm rail, grade N with preload C and its 20 um parallelism allowance, M6 fitting, and M6 mounting screws at 1370 N.cm into steel.
Quick checklist
Each long carriage: C 32.9 kN dynamic, C0 53.0 kN static, moments MR 0.58, MP 0.57, My 0.57 kN.m. Grade N running parallelism spans 12-37 um depending on rail length. Bolt the rail with M6 screws at 1370 N.cm on steel, 921 on cast iron, 686 on aluminium, and keep corner radii at 1 mm or less. First grease charge is about 4.5 cm3 per long carriage, top-up 1.4 cm3 through the M6 fitting every 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first.
One 840 mm rail with the two long square carriages mounted and pre-filled with Mobilux EP2, plus the bolt caps for the mounting holes. It is a complete guide set, not a part-only code, so no pairing code applies. Drive every cap fully into its counterbore - lay a flat plate over the cap and tap vertically with a plastic mallet, then clean the rail - because a proud cap or an open hole lets swarf into the ball circuit.
