The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30BK-F2L-N-B-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.
AirTAC's LSH30BK-F2L-N-B-M6 is the carriage by itself: one bottom-flange (F2) long block in size 30, normal accuracy grade, with an M6 grease nipple and pairing code B. No rail is included and none is quoted in this code - rail length and preload belong to a complete set or a rail-only order. The parent series runs on a 28 mm wide profile rail, so the size code 30 is not the width; check that figure before machining a mounting plate. Four rows of recirculating balls sit in X-arranged 45 degree arc raceways with two-point contact per ball, which evens out capacity in all four directions and absorbs slight mounting-surface error inside the block instead of binding the slide.
Per carriage the long body is rated 45.7 kN basic dynamic and 73.1 kN basic static, with allowable static moments of 0.88 kN.m MR, 0.91 kN.m MP and 0.91 kN.m My. Against the standard LSH30 block, going long adds about 22 percent dynamic capacity and about 33 percent moment - on a cantilevered load, moment is usually what decides the size, not C. The block is pre-filled with Mobilux EP2, first charge 7.2 cm3.

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.
A CNC router whose gantry has developed shudder usually needs new carriages, not a new machine. This F2 long block restores travel on an undamaged 28 mm LSH30 rail; pairing letter B keeps the replacement matched to the rail already bolted to the bed.
Upgrading a palletising cell's vertical slide from a standard to a long carriage raises moment capacity from 0.66 to 0.88 kN.m, which suits the overhung gripper and part mass at full extension without changing the rail or the frame.
On a horizontal flow-wrapper, the sealing head slides on guides that see heat, product dust and washdown. Swapping in fresh long bottom-flange blocks during the annual overhaul restores smooth jaw travel, and the F2 flange bolts from below so nothing stands proud above the carriage to foul the film path.
Buying the block alone is the economic repair when the rail is straight and undamaged: a replacement carriage costs roughly a quarter of a complete set, provided you quote pairing letter B so the new block matches the old rail. If your duty is light and the envelope small, step down to LRM - its load ratings are not published, so we confirm them with you. If travel is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity rather than long recirculating travel, step across to LGC. Checklist before ordering: form (carriage only), size chosen by load AND moment, F2 bottom-flange style, long body, accuracy N, M6 fitting, and pairing code B read off the original part.
Quick checklist
Basic dynamic load rating C is 45.7 kN and basic static C0 is 73.1 kN per carriage. Allowable static moments are MR 0.88, MP 0.91 and My 0.91 kN.m. Accuracy grade N gives running parallelism of 12 to 37 um depending on rail length. The mating rail takes M8 screws torqued to 3040 N.cm in steel, 2010 in cast iron or 1470 in aluminium. The block arrives charged with 7.2 cm3 of Mobilux EP2; re-grease 2.2 cm3 every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first.
No rail is included - this SKU is the carriage only, and the code has no preload position because preload is fixed by the carriage-and-rail combination on a complete set. Rails and carriages carry a pairing letter and must share it: to complete the guide, order an LSH30RLX rail with code B. When replacing a worn block, read the letter off the original carriage or rail before ordering.
