The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25HN2X3000S20AN-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.
Three metres of hardened profile rail in one piece: LSH25HN2X3000S20AN-M6 is a complete size 25 LSH set with two square standard carriages running on a 3000 mm rail, 20 mm end-hole offset, no preload, normal accuracy, M6 fittings. LSH25 rails measure 23 mm wide, and the catalogue maximum for this size is 4040 mm, so 3000 mm leaves 1040 mm of headroom to lengthen the stroke later without changing series. Four rows of balls at 45 degree contact in X-shaped arc raceways carry the same load radially, laterally and in moment, and absorb slight mounting error inside each carriage.
Over a span this long, the flatness of the mounting base dominates the achieved running parallelism, which for grade N lies between 12 and 37 um across the length band. Each carriage is rated C 26.9 kN dynamic and C0 39.4 kN static, with MR 0.44 / MP 0.38 / My 0.38 kN.m, and the two blocks share long unsupported workpieces between them. Lubrication reaches both carriages through their M6 fittings at 3.6 cm3 first charge each, and the 100 km re-grease clock runs quickly on a long stroke: a 300 mm travel cycled once per second covers 100 km in about two weeks of continuous running, so distance, not the calendar, calls the interval.

|---|---|
| 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. |
| 2X3000 | 2 carriages on a 3000 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 battery trolley shuttling tote bins down a 3 m aisle rides on two such rails; the twin carriages on each rail share the trolley's weight over the full stroke and resist tipping under an off-centre load.
A trimmer travelling the length of a 3 m composite panel needs the rail straight and supported along its whole run; two square carriages per rail resist the side pull of climb cuts.
On a rewinder, the lay-on guide crosses the full 3 m spool width continuously; the recirculating ball circuit is built for reciprocation, and re-greasing at each 100 km keeps the traverse smooth.
Long rails reward planning. Confirm the base is continuous and flat enough to support 3000 mm of rail, because whether the rail is pulled fully against its datum and torqued correctly has a large effect on the accuracy you achieve. If 3000 mm later proves short, this series runs to 4040 mm in one piece before a spliced code is needed; beyond that, ask about the T spliced-rail variant. For light duty in a small envelope, LRM is the smaller step, though its ratings are unpublished and we confirm them for you; for short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is the cross-over; for heavier overhung loads, LSH30 or the L long carriage on size 25 buys moment capacity.
Checklist: form (this is a complete set); size by load and moment; carriage style and length; block count and rail length; accuracy and preload, with the mounting trade-off stated; grease fitting from the size-25 M6 family; and the pairing letter only when replacing a single part.
Quick checklist
For LSH25 standard-length square carriages: C 26.9 kN dynamic and C0 39.4 kN static per block; moments MR 0.44, MP 0.38 and My 0.38 kN.m; N-grade running parallelism 12-37 um across the length band; M6 mounting screws at 1370 N.cm (steel), 921 N.cm (cast iron), 686 N.cm (aluminium); grease 3.6 cm3 per carriage at first charge and 1.1 cm3 per top-up, on a 100 km or 3-to-6-month interval.
The set is one 3000 mm rail plus two matched square carriages, their M6 nipples, and the bolt caps that must be seated flush in the mounting holes to keep swarf out of the ball circuit - drive each cap into its counterbore, tap it flat using a plate and plastic mallet, then clean the rail. The series extends to 4040 mm without a joint, so a longer one-piece rail in this size exists; longer still would use the spliced T variant, quoted on request.
