The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HN1X340S20AN-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 AirTAC LSH25HN1X340S20AN-M6 is a complete linear guide set: one profile rail cut to 340 mm with a single square, standard-length block riding it. Despite the 25 in the code, the rail is 23 mm wide - machine the seat to 23 or the block will sit 2 mm off its datum. Inside the block, four rows of recirculating balls meet X-arranged arc raceways at 45 degrees, two contact points per ball, so lifting, side and downward loads all draw on the same capacity while slight mounting-surface errors are absorbed inside the block instead of showing up as binding.
Per block the ratings are 26.9 kN dynamic, 39.4 kN static - static runs near one and a half times dynamic across this range, which is why travel life is sized on C, not the bigger C0 - plus moments of 0.44 (MR) and 0.38 (MP, My) kN.m. This is the no-preload, normal-accuracy version with an M6 grease port, so a pair of these sets mounted about 500 mm apart stays inside size 25's 30 um parallelism and 130 um height allowances.

| 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. |
| 1X340 | 1 carriage on a 340 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. |
| 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 340 mm stroke moves small electronic parts between feeder trays on a compact assembly bench; the square block keeps the tooling plate low and the gripper close to the rail centreline.
Feeding a machined housing past a wire brush at a bench station: one block on a short rail carries the fixture, and the M6 port reaches a standard grease gun for shop-floor top-ups.
Sliding a mirror mount along 340 mm on an optical bench, where the no-preload block runs with low breakaway so fine adjustments do not stick-slip.
Start the size check from the duty: if the load is genuinely light and the envelope tight, LRM is the smaller family - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them against your cycle before you order. If a cantilever governs, step up: LSH30 lifts MR from 0.44 to 0.66 kN.m, and the long LSH25 block lifts it to 0.58 kN.m without changing rail width. If travel is short and you need crossed-roller stiffness rather than long recirculating travel, step across to LGC. Order checklist: confirm the form (a set here, not a part); size by load AND moment; block style and length; block count and rail length; accuracy and preload, with the trade-off that medium preload cuts the allowed height error from 130 um to 70 um; grease fitting; pairing code only when replacing a single part.
Quick checklist
Per block at standard length: dynamic rating C 26.9 kN, static C0 39.4 kN, static moments MR 0.44, MP 0.38 and My 0.38 kN.m. Normal-grade running parallelism spans 12-37 um. Fix the 23 mm rail with M6 screws at 1370 N.cm into steel, 921 into cast iron, 686 into aluminium, seat corner radius 1 mm maximum. Lubrication: 3.6 cm3 Mobilux EP2 first charge, 1.1 cm3 top-ups, refreshed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first.
This set ships without preload, so a 500 mm rail spacing tolerates 30 um of parallelism error and 130 um of height difference between rails. Light preload tightens that to 22 and 85 um; medium preload to 20 and 70 um. The stiffer guide is also the less forgiving one - if your base machining is average, no preload is the pragmatic choice, and rigidity can be recovered with a second block or one size up.
