The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30BK-F2N-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.
This listing is the carriage only: one AirTAC LSH30BK-F2N-N bottom-flange block, normal accuracy grade, with an M6 grease fitting and pairing code B. No rail is included and none is implied - order this part when you already own a sound LSH30 rail marked B. Inside the block, four rows of balls recirculate through X-shaped arc raceways set at a 45 degree contact angle with two contact points per ball, so downward, lifted and side loads all draw on the same capacity, and slight mounting-surface error is absorbed within the carriage instead of binding the balls. Mind the size code: a size 30 carriage runs on a rail 28 mm wide, not 30 mm.
Per carriage, the catalogue rates this standard-length size 30 block at 37.4 kN dynamic and 55.0 kN static, with moments of 0.66 / 0.67 / 0.67 kN.m about MR, MP and My. Static sits near 1.5 times dynamic, a pattern that holds across the LSH range - size on C for travel life, and reach for C0 only where shock or dropped loads dominate. Because a block costs roughly a quarter of a full set, replacing the carriage on a rail that is still true is usually the cheapest route back to a smooth axis.

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 coordinate measuring machine axis that has gone rough under load can often be revived by changing the block alone; a B-coded replacement matched to the rail brings back the original running feel without disturbing the machine datum.
Adding a second gripper station to an existing LSH30 gantry? An under-mounted F2 block bolts through the bottom of the tooling plate, so the top face stays clear for the new hardware.
Maintenance teams that keep one letter-matched spare per rail size turn a failed linear axis into a short changeover; this size 30 B-coded block is that spare for any B rail on the floor.
Start by confirming the form: this is a carriage, not a set. If the duty is light and the envelope tight, step down to LRM - a smaller series whose load ratings are not published, so we confirm them before you commit. If the travel is short and the job wants crossed-roller rigidity rather than long recirculating travel, move across to LGC. Where a moment governs, note that the long LSH30L carriage lifts MR from 0.66 to 0.88 kN.m, about a third more, while dynamic rating climbs only from 37.4 to 45.7 kN. Match checklist: form (carriage only), size chosen by load AND moment, F2 bottom-flange style, standard length, N accuracy, M6 fitting - and above all the pairing code B, which must agree with the letter on your rail.
Quick checklist
Dynamic rating C 37.4 kN, static C0 55.0 kN, moments MR 0.66 / MP 0.67 / My 0.67 kN.m. N-grade running parallelism falls in a 12-37 um band across the rail-length range. Fix the rail with M8 screws torqued to 3040 N.cm on steel, 2010 N.cm on cast iron, 1470 N.cm on aluminium; mounting shoulder H 6.5 mm, corner radius 1 mm max. First grease charge 5.4 cm3, top-up 1.7 cm3, refreshed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first.
One bottom-flange F2 block, and nothing else; the rail is a separate order. Pairing code B is the match letter: an LSH30 carriage should run on an LSH30 rail bearing the same letter. Because carriages of one model are interchangeable across that model's rails, a B-coded replacement keeps the smoothness, preload and accuracy of the original pairing - provided the rail itself is still sound.
