Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10APT
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10APT 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 LRM12L1X170S10APT
LRM12L1X170S10APT combines precision accuracy (P) with a bottom-mount rail: you receive one 12 mm wide, 170 mm long stainless-steel rail and a single long carriage as a complete set. Fixing happens from underneath, so plan machine access to the screw holes on the underside; the reward is an unbroken top face for parts, sensors or workholding.
With P grade, the mounting surface does half the work - grind or finish-mill the seat, or the stated travel accuracy will not appear. Keep the datum on one side of the rail and, when a second carriage is added later, on the same side again for better running accuracy. The carriage runs on Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls (a ball grade only), sealed by a double lip and shielded by an outer cover. Long carriages are stocked nearly as deeply as standard ones here - 512 against 475 - so this configuration carries no availability penalty. Ambient temperature stays at or below 80 C, transients to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not in the catalogue; ask us and we confirm them for this model with your RFQ.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10APT Is Used
CMM-style checking fixture
An underside-fixed rail keeps the top plate flat for seating machined housings during first-article inspection.
Wafer probe station stage
A precision P-grade miniature guide gives repeatable micrometer-driven positioning under a probe head in a university lab.
OEM lab automation gantry
Machine builders bolting rails from below into aluminium baseplates get a flush top deck for product trays and sensors.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X170S10APT the Right Guide?
Choose deliberately across the range: LSH when loads are substantial or cantilevered, because it publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that LRM never does; LGC when travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity is what the build needs. For this set, confirm the checklist: complete set form, 12 mm rail, long carriage, one block, 170 mm length, preload A (none), accuracy P, bottom-mount, and a per-model load rating confirmed with us before purchase. Note that M2 screws torque to 29.4 N.cm in aluminium but 58.8 N.cm in steel - set your driver accordingly.
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 LRM12L1X170S10APT FAQ
12 mm rail width; 170 mm rail length; a single long carriage; preload A (none); accuracy grade P; bottom-mount fixing; 10 mm end-hole offset. Fixing-screw torque: M2 screws take 58.8 N.cm in steel, 39.2 N.cm in cast iron, 29.4 N.cm in aluminium; M3 screws take 196, 127 and 98 N.cm in the same order. Ambient limit: 80 C, transients to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. LRM has no published load or moment ratings - we confirm both for this model before ordering.
LRM wins on compactness and light-duty smoothness, and this 12 mm bottom-mount set is squarely in that territory. LSH wins the moment the load grows or hangs off a cantilever: its catalogue prints dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, while LRM publishes none and each figure is confirmed per model with us. When the travel is short and you want crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is worth a look. Send the layout and duty and we will confirm the choice and the numbers.
