The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X145S10AHT 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.
The LRM12L1X145S10AHT is the bottom-mount version of this 12 mm miniature guide: a 145 mm stainless-steel rail carrying one long recirculating-ball carriage, delivered assembled and pre-greased as a working set. The trailing T in the code means the rail is fixed from below - the arrangement for a frame where the screws cannot be reached from above, or where a flush top face matters. The 10 mm end-hole offset spaces the fixing holes in from the rail ends.
Before fitting, grind or finish-mill the mating surface, because the rated travel accuracy assumes it. Ball retention keeps the ISO 3290 G10 Japanese-made balls captive during handling, but the maker is explicit that it is a handling aid, not a guarantee: insert the carriage square and slowly, or use a dummy rail, and balls can still drop. Ambient temperature is capped at 80 C with 100 C transients. Load and moment figures are not published for this series - we confirm them per model, so send the RFQ.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LRM catalogue. The catalogue does not publish load or moment ratings, running parallelism, speed limits, or carriage base material for LRM. We will not quote a figure we cannot source — ask us and we will confirm it for your model.

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.
An AOI camera gantry over a PCB line fixes this rail from below, so the face the camera bracket bolts to stays flush and free of screw heads in the optical path.
A compact belt-driven teach axis on a small packaging machine uses the bottom-mount rail set inside an extruded channel, hiding the fixings from product and wash-down contact.
An HPLC autosampler moves its needle arm on this 12 mm guide; the long carriage lengthens the bearing span, which resists the tipping moment of the arm overhanging the rail.
Two decisions come before price on this SKU. First, mounting direction: the T suffix fixes the rail from below, for machines where the top face is the working surface or protruding screws would foul the travel. Second, form: this is a complete set - rail plus one long carriage on a 12 mm, 145 mm track, no preload (grade A), accuracy H. If the load is significant or cantilevered, choose LSH instead, since LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings and LRM does not. For very short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness, look across at LGC. Then run the rest of the checklist - carriage length, count, preload grade, accuracy, mounting direction - and confirm the load rating with us before ordering.
Quick checklist
A 12 mm wide rail, 145 mm long, one long carriage, preload grade A (none), accuracy grade H, bottom-mount fixing, 10 mm end-hole offset. Drive M2 screws at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron or 29.4 into aluminium; M3 screws take 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. The carriage arrives greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 - top up every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, never mixing lubricant types. Keep ambient temperature under 80 C (100 C transient). Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this model via the RFQ.
It is a complete set: the 145 mm stainless rail and the long carriage arrive together, assembled and pre-greased, so nothing else is needed to run it. That is different from AirTAC's BK carriage-only codes, which contain no rail at all and carry a pairing letter that must match the rail. Carriage-only spares are thin on the ground - only a handful of such SKUs are listed - so if field carriage swaps are likely, order a spare set or a correctly paired carriage well in advance.
