The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HN2X1000S20AN-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.
Two carriages ride this one rail, and that is the point of LSH25HN2X1000S20AN-M6: a second standard-length square block steadies the payload against tipping along the direction of travel and spreads the weight between two contact patches. The code is a complete set - 1000 mm size 25 rail, two square carriages, M6 fittings, no preload, N accuracy - and the rail is 23 mm wide despite the 25 in its size code. Each block carries four rows of recirculating balls on 45 degree X-pattern arc raceways, loaded equally in every direction and tolerant of small mounting-surface deviations.
At 1000 mm this rail uses a quarter of the 4040 mm maximum length available in size 25, and N-grade running parallelism spans 12 to 37 um over its length. Per-carriage ratings are unchanged at 26.9 kN dynamic, 39.4 kN static and 0.44/0.38/0.38 kN.m of moment, so a centred load shared by both blocks roughly doubles the capacity you can apply, while an off-centre load must still be checked against each block's moment figures. Greasing doubles too: two carriages take 3.6 cm3 each at first fill, and a 300 mm stroke cycled once per second reaches the 100 km re-grease point in around two weeks of running, so the distance rule binds well before the calendar one.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LSH catalogue. The catalogue page does not state the carriage or rail base material. Sizes 35 and 45 exist in the catalogue but are not stocked here; they are available to order.

|---|---|
| 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. |
| 2X1000 | 2 carriages on a 1000 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 pallet car running on two of these 1000 mm sets cycles at full rate around the clock; with a 300 mm stroke repeated every second the 100 km greasing point arrives in roughly two weeks, so schedule the grease gun by distance, not by date.
Swapping a worn dovetail slide for a 1000 mm size 25 set: drive the supplied bolt caps into the rail holes using a flat plate and a plastic mallet, then wipe the rail, or swarf will find its way into the ball circuit.
Off-centre sheet loads tip a single block along the travel axis; the second carriage on this rail supplies the restoring couple, with each block's 0.44 kN.m MR checked against the load height.
Adding a second block and going one size up solve different problems. A second carriage on this rail fights tipping along the travel axis and splits a centred payload; moving from size 20 to size 25 instead buys moment capacity at a single point, MR rising from 0.27 to 0.44 kN.m. If the load both overhangs and travels, a long carriage (MR 0.58 kN.m) on the same rail is another route, since carriages of one LSH model interchange freely. For compact light-duty motion, LRM is the step down, with ratings unpublished and confirmed by us on request; for short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness, step across to LGC. Order checklist: complete set; size 25 sized on load and moment; two square standard carriages; 1000 mm rail, 20 mm end offset; N accuracy; preload A with its generous 30 um parallel and 130 um height allowances at 500 mm spacing; M6 fittings.
Quick checklist
Each standard square carriage: C 26.9 kN dynamic, C0 39.4 kN static, moments MR 0.44, MP 0.38 and My 0.38 kN.m. Running parallelism for N grade on this rail sits within the 12 to 37 um band. Fixing: M6 screws at 1370, 921 and 686 N.cm on steel, cast iron and aluminium respectively. Lubrication: 3.6 cm3 per carriage first fill (7.2 cm3 total), 1.1 cm3 top-ups, repeated every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
You receive two square standard carriages and one 1000 mm rail as a matched set, so no pairing code applies. Drive each supplied bolt cap into its counterbore, lay a flat plate over it and tap vertically with a plastic mallet, then clean the rail; the cap must sit level with or below the rail top face so swarf cannot enter the ball circuit.
