Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10AHT
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10AHT 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.

About the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10AHT
The T at the end of LRM12L1X170S10AHT changes how the rail goes in: this is a bottom-mount rail, fixed with screws driven from underneath the mounting base. It suits frames where the top face must stay clear - a cover, a work surface or a guide strip runs over the rail - and where proud screw heads on a top-mount rail would interfere. The set is a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 170 mm long, with one long recirculating-ball carriage, preload A (none) and accuracy H (high).
Either side of the rail can serve as the datum face, and the mounting surface should be ground or finish-milled for the rated travel accuracy. Handling matters more than people expect: the ball-retention design helps, but sliding the carriage on at an angle or swapping it quickly can still drop balls, and on an inclined rail the carriage can slide off under its own weight - hold it. The ISO 3290 G10 grade applies to the Japanese-made balls, not to the assembly; a double-lip seal and outer cover look after lubrication and dust exclusion. The temperature limit is 80 C ambient with peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this model via your RFQ.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10AHT Is Used
Benchtop vision inspection slide
Carrying a camera over small parts on a lab bench; bottom-mount fixing lets the rail sit flush beneath a mounting plate with nothing standing proud.
Fine-wire guiding on a spooler
A light wire-guide carriage tracking across a small winding machine; the long carriage steadies the guide against lateral pull from the wire.
Dot-peen marker on a compact line
A small marking head traversing short distances on nameplate or packaging work; the 12 mm rail keeps the head assembly slim.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10AHT the Right Guide?
Work the decision from the mounting side first: if you cannot reach screw heads from above, this bottom-mount rail is the answer; if you can, the same code without the trailing T is simpler to service. Then step outwards: AirTAC LSH is the move when loads are substantial or cantilevered, since LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings while LRM's are confirmed per model; LGC is the move for short travel needing crossed-roller rigidity. Checklist for this SKU: complete set form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, single block, 170 mm rail, preload A, accuracy H, bottom-mount direction - and a load rating confirmed with us before you order.
A note for anyone planning field carriage swaps: carriage-only parts are thinly listed in this range, and even with ball retention a hurried swap can drop balls, so a dummy rail is worth planning for.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Complete set, carriage only, or rail only?
- ✓ Load and moment confirmed with us
- ✓ Travel length and mounting space
- ✓ Accuracy grade and preload
- ✓ Mounting surface ground or finish-milled
- ✓ Pairing code, if replacing a part
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled.
- check Torque the rail screws per the recommended figures, in sequence.
- check Keep the mounting corner radius inside the stated R maximum.
- check Do not angle the carriage onto the rail; balls can drop out.
- check Drive the supplied bolt caps into the mounting holes.
- check Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3–6 months.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10AHT FAQ
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 170 mm, one long carriage, preload A (none), accuracy H (high), bottom-mount rail fixing with screws driven from below. Factory grease is Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2; wipe off the rust-preventive oil and re-lubricate before first use, then top up through the rear lubrication hole every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Screw torque: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient limit 80 C, transient peaks 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model on request.
A complete set: the 170 mm stainless-steel rail with its mounting holes, and one long carriage already running on it, configured exactly as the code describes. It is not a carriage-only code and needs no pairing letter. What it does not include is a load rating - LRM figures are confirmed per model. If you later need a spare carriage on its own, note that carriage-only SKUs are thinly listed in this range, so most become a special order identified by the pairing code.
