The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X105S15AH is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriage. It is the small end of the range, for light-duty precision positioning in a tight envelope — compact stages, small pick-and-place heads and inspection fixtures.
LRM12L1X105S15AH is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set: one 105 mm stainless-steel rail with a 12 mm wide running surface, a 15 mm end-hole offset for the fixing screws, and a single long (L) carriage travelling on it. Preload is grade A, meaning none, and the accuracy grade is H - high. The carriage arrives mounted on the rail, pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease.
The long carriage is the point of this configuration: it spreads ball contact over a greater length, giving a longer bearing span that resists any tipping component in the load. The balls are ISO 3290 G10 Japanese steel for roundness and wear, the double-lip seal scrapes oil and excludes dust, the outer cover hides the screws and protects the seal strip, and the common-rail profile lets other LRM12 carriages share this rail. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C with peaks no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; send your application by RFQ and we confirm the figure for this exact set.

Rail and carriage(s) supplied together, matched as a set. 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 compact liquid-handling deck that indexes a head across microplate wells fits the 105 mm travel envelope, with the smooth low-friction running of a single long carriage.
In a benchtop vision station, the long carriage helps keep a camera or sensor square over the 105 mm travel, resisting pitch as the stage moves along its short axis.
A light-duty placement head moving small electronic components along a short axis gets repeatable travel from the high accuracy grade and the 12 mm stainless rail.
With no published load table for LRM, sizing starts with a conversation. When the load is substantial or overhung - a vertical axis or a cantilevered head - move up to LSH, which publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against; LRM gives you the small envelope but no numbers to size from. For short travel where rigidity comes from crossed rollers rather than recirculating balls, LGC is the cross-series alternative. Checklist for this set: complete form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one block, 105 mm rail length, preload A (none - the freest running but least rigid choice; light preload B adds stiffness at a small cost in drag), accuracy H, top-mount rail, and confirm the load rating with us before committing.
Quick checklist
Complete set: 12 mm wide stainless rail, 105 mm long, with a 15 mm end-hole offset; one long carriage; preload A (none); accuracy H (high); top-mount rail fixing. Mounting surfaces should be ground or finish-milled. Screw torque: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel (39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium); M3 at 196 N.cm (127 cast iron, 98 aluminium). Ambient limit 80 C, peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months - at a short stroke cycled continuously, the distance arrives before the calendar does. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model.
Choose LRM when the envelope is small and the duty is light - a 12 mm rail and a long carriage in a compact axis. LSH is the larger series and publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings in its catalogue, which LRM does not, so a substantial or cantilevered load is sized there. If travel is very short and crossed-roller rigidity matters, LGC sits across rather than up. In every case, send us the load case so we confirm the rating for the specific LRM model before you order.
