The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HN1X145S10AN-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 is a matched rail-and-carriage assembly from AirTAC's LSH series: a single compact square block, standard length, on a 145 mm profile rail, normal accuracy, preload code A meaning none, lubricated through an M6 nipple. The four-row ball circuit contacts X-shaped raceways at 45 degrees from two directions, giving the same load rating in every direction and letting the block absorb slight datum errors in its own internal clearance rather than fight them.
For layout work, the numbers that matter here are the shoulders: H 6.5 mm, H1 5 mm, H2 5 mm, with a mounting-surface corner radius of 1 mm maximum, and M6 rail screws torqued to 1370 N.cm in steel, 921 in cast iron or 686 in aluminium. The S10 offset puts the first fixing hole just 10 mm from the rail end, which helps on frames where hole positions are already set. At 145 mm, this rail uses only a small fraction of the 4040 mm maximum length the series can be cut to.

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.

Raising and lowering a cutting head's focus carriage on a CO2 laser. N-grade accuracy with a 12-37 um running parallelism band is ample where the stroke is tens of millimetres.
Before ordering, verify the mounting surface, because on size 25 the rail is 23 mm wide and the datum shoulders are 6.5 mm high with a corner radius capped at 1 mm. If the duty is genuinely light and a smaller envelope would do, LRM is the step-down option - its ratings are not published, so ask us to confirm them - and for short-travel work needing crossed-roller stiffness rather than recirculating travel, LGC fits instead. Step up to a long carriage or to LSH30 when the moment rating, not the 26.9 kN dynamic load, is the binding constraint. Match list: set, carriage or rail form; size against load and moment; block style (square here) and length; block count and rail cut; accuracy N versus H or P; preload and the tightening it imposes on installation error; the M6 fitting; and, if you are replacing a block on an existing LSH25 rail, the pairing letter off the original part.
Quick checklist
The standard block is rated C 26.9 kN dynamic and C0 39.4 kN static, with moment limits of 0.44 kN.m about MR and 0.38 kN.m about both MP and My. N-grade running parallelism falls between 12 and 37 um over the length range. Fix the rail with M6 screws to 1370, 921 or 686 N.cm on steel, cast iron or aluminium, and note the shoulder heights H 6.5 mm, H1 5 mm, H2 5 mm with a corner radius no greater than 1 mm. Grease per block: 3.6 cm3 first charge, 1.1 cm3 top-up, refreshed every 100 km or 3 to 6 months.
The 25 is the series number, not the rail dimension. On this series the rail section measures 23 mm across, and only at LSH45 do series number and rail width coincide. Lay out the mounting surface from the 23 mm figure and the 6.5 mm shoulder, not from the code, or the datum will sit 2 mm off. The S10 in the code is the distance from the rail end to the first mounting hole, set here at 10 mm.
