The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30BK-F2L-H-D-M6 is a standard-type profile linear guide on a 28 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 SKU is the single carriage from the LSH range, ordered without rail: size 30, F2 bottom-flange pattern, long body, high accuracy, M6 fitting, pairing letter D. Nothing else arrives with it - no rail segment, no fixing screws - and the code has no preload position, so if your machine calls for a defined preload grade, confirm it with us against the datasheet before ordering. Inside, four rows of recirculating balls contact X-shaped arc raceways at 45 degrees, two points per ball, which is what lets the block tolerate slight misalignment of the mounting face while staying equally strong in all four load directions. The mating rail is 28 mm wide despite the size 30 label.
Static rating is 73.1 kN against 45.7 kN dynamic - a ratio of about 1.6, consistent across the whole LSH range. Size on C, the dynamic figure, because that is what governs travel life; buyers who pick the bigger C0 number often end up oversizing the axis. Moments for this long body: MR 0.88, MP 0.91, My 0.91 kN.m. The high accuracy grade holds running parallelism within a 7 to 28 um band across the rail-length range.

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

This is a carriage on its own. NO RAIL 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.
Lift-and-shift units on an automotive transfer line see vertical load plus overturning from the offset part carrier; this long body's 0.88 kN.m MR covers an offset that the standard block's 0.66 kN.m cannot.
A glue dispenser head on an electronics assembly machine overhangs its guide; sizing on static C0 (73.1 kN) instead of dynamic C (45.7 kN) risks an oversized axis, since C is what governs travel life.
Rebuilding an older three-axis mill? Upgrading its blocks to this long version raises MR from 0.66 to 0.88 kN.m on the existing rail - more moment headroom without redesigning the mounting.
Match five things before you buy. First, the form: carriage only, so if you expected a rail in the box this is the wrong code - complete sets carry an X and a rail length instead of BK. Second, size by load AND moment: dynamic rating governs travel life, MR governs overhung loads; for light duties in tight spaces consider LRM (ratings unpublished - we confirm them), and for short-travel work where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than long travel, consider LGC. Third, mounting style: F2 bolts from below through the flange, leaving the top face unobstructed. Fourth, accuracy and fitting: H grade with M6, the correct fitting family for size 30. Fifth, the pairing code D - the rail you bolt this to must carry the same letter, so copy it from the old part's code before ordering.
Quick checklist
Use these per-carriage values: basic dynamic load rating C 45.7 kN, basic static C0 73.1 kN, allowable static moments MR 0.88 kN.m, MP 0.91 kN.m, My 0.91 kN.m (long body; the standard block gives 37.4 / 55.0 kN and 0.66 / 0.67 / 0.67 kN.m). Grade H running parallelism: 7 to 28 um depending on rail length. Mating LSH30 rail: 28 mm wide, M8 screws at 3040 / 2010 / 1470 N.cm on steel / cast iron / aluminium. Grease: 7.2 cm3 first charge, 2.2 cm3 top-up, re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months.
One long-body F2 flange carriage, high accuracy, with an M6 fitting and pairing letter D. No rail is included, and this code states no preload grade - if your build needs a defined preload, confirm it with us first. The carriage will run on any LSH30 rail of the same model that carries the pairing letter D; a rail with a different letter is not a match, so read the code off your existing rail or old block and order to it.
