The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH25RLX1780-S20-H-E 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 single 1780 mm LSH25 profile rail, high accuracy grade H, mounting holes starting 20 mm from each end - this SKU is the rail and only the rail. There is no carriage in the box, so no dynamic or static rating and no preload are stated; ratings belong to the block that runs on the track. The hardened raceway surface along the rail's length is what the carriage's four rows of balls contact at 45 degrees, the arrangement behind the system's balanced four-direction capacity and self-alignment. True rail width for size 25 is 23 mm - not 25 - so a seat laid out from the size code alone ends up 2 mm out.
At 1780 mm this is a long single piece, sitting under half of the 4040 mm Lmax for size 25; runs longer than that are built by splicing two rail sections end to end. Grade H gives 7-28 um running parallelism over the length band. On a long rail, flat seating matters more than anywhere else: M6 screws at 1370 N.cm in steel, 921 in cast iron, 686 in aluminium, with every bolt pulled down or the grade is lost.

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. This item is a rail only. Order a complete set if you also need a carriage.

This is a bare rail cut to length. NO CARRIAGE IS INCLUDED. 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 large-format flatbed knife cutter's gantry travels a 1780 mm Y-axis; this grade H rail keeps the cut line straight over the full sheet width at 7-28 um parallelism.
A beam saw's fence-side support slide carries sheet material on code E carriages over this 1780 mm rail, replacing a dented original without touching the carriages.
A vision station that scans EV battery modules for weld straightness moves its camera bar on this long grade H rail, where local distortion in a shorter or lower-grade rail would show up as scan error.
Three directions to weigh. Down: if the load is modest and space scarce, the smaller LRM series often fits - its ratings are not published, so we verify them with you. Across: for short travel where crossed-roller stiffness beats long recirculating travel, LGC is the alternative. Up: if the moment on the carriage governs, a long carriage or the next size raises moment capacity faster than an extra carriage solves tipping. Then run the checklist - form, size by load AND moment, carriage style and length, carriage count, rail length, accuracy and preload with the mounting tolerance they demand, carriage grease fitting, and the E pairing code shared by both halves.
Quick checklist
Length 1780 mm; grade H, 7-28 um running parallelism over the band; holes offset 20 mm from each end; maximum single-piece length for size 25 is 4040 mm. Mounting screws M6: 1370 N.cm steel, 921 N.cm cast iron, 686 N.cm aluminium. Shoulders H 6.5, H1 5, H2 5 mm, corner radius 1 mm max. Rail carries no load rating, preload or lubrication figure - those belong to the paired carriage.
It is not. The delivery is one 1780 mm grade H rail, no carriage, no machining beyond the standard hole pattern. The pairing letter E ties this rail to carriages of the same code: only an E-coded carriage is matched to this rail's accuracy class. If you are renewing one half of an installed pair, take the full code off the old part - mixing letters across parts is the most common cause of a rough or loose-feeling guide after repair.
