The AirTAC Airtac LSH Linear Guide Rail LSH30RLX2525-S22.5-N-E 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 a rail alone: one LSH size 30 profile rail, 2525 mm long, accuracy grade N, pairing code E, top-lock mounting, and explicitly no carriage, no preload and no grease fitting - a rail has none of those. Buyers choose the part form when carriages are already in hand or when a machine frame needs a cut length that standard sets do not offer. The rail surface is the hardened raceway for the carriage balls; the catalogue does not state the base material, so confirm anything material-related through an RFQ before specifying welding or coating.
At 2525 mm this rail uses about 63 percent of the 4030 mm maximum length for size 30, so a long axis can run as a single piece with no joint in the middle. The S22.5 end-hole offset places the first and last mounting holes just 22.5 mm from the rail ends - the tightest end overhang of the common offsets in this size - useful where end stops or machine plates crowd the stroke ends. Grade N parallelism for the size falls between 12 and 37 um over the finished length.

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 2.5 m tray conveyor in a food plant carries its pusher gantry on this rail; the single-piece length avoids a joint under the washdown zone where a splice would trap residue.
Retrofitting a beam saw cross-cut carriage, the fitter reuses sound pairing-E blocks on a fresh 2525 mm rail instead of buying a whole guide, cutting the repair to roughly a quarter of the set price.
A modular welding fixture table takes this rail as the linear datum for a removable stop module; the small 22.5 mm end offset lets the module sit almost flush with the table edge.
Pairing is the first check: this rail accepts only LSH30 carriages with pairing code E, and the letter is marked with the part, so read it off the old carriage before ordering a replacement rail. If the duty is lighter than the ratings suggest, LRM is the step down - we confirm its unpublished load figures against your application. If moment governs, step up: a long LSH30 carriage raises MR to 0.88 kN.m and LSH35 reaches 1.05 kN.m. Short-travel work wanting crossed-roller rigidity is LGC territory. Then confirm the rest: form (rail only here); size by load and moment together; carriage style, length and count; rail length; accuracy and preload, remembering that medium preload on this size cuts the allowable height error from 170 to 90 um; the grease fitting lives on the carriage; and the pairing code.
Quick checklist
Width 28 mm (true), length 2525 mm against a 4030 mm maximum for size 30, grade N parallelism 12-37 um, S22.5 end-hole offset, top-lock mounting. Fasten with M8 screws at 3040 N.cm (steel), 2010 N.cm (cast iron) or 1470 N.cm (aluminium); shoulders H 6.5, H1 5, H2 5 mm; corner radius 1 mm maximum. A rail carries no dynamic or static rating, no moment rating, no preload and no grease charge - read all of those from the carriage that runs on it.
The box holds one 2525 mm rail and its bolt caps - no carriage. Matching works by pairing code E: the carriage and the rail must both carry E for the rated smoothness, preload and accuracy. Carriage-only SKUs list the same letter in their code, so check it before buying a replacement block; a carriage with a different letter on this rail falls outside the guarantee. If the code is unreadable, quote the full SKU from your old part and we will identify the match.
