The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X195S10AH 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.
LRM12L1X195S10AH is a complete miniature linear guide set from AirTAC: one 195 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with a single long (L) carriage pre-fitted, pre-greased and ready to bolt down from the top. The order code fixes the rest of the configuration - preload A, meaning the carriage runs with no applied preload, and accuracy grade H, the high grade.
The long carriage is the defining choice here: it spreads the load over a longer ball path and gives a wider bearing span, which steadies any tipping or overhanging detail on a small stage. Inside, recirculating balls to ISO 3290 G10 - a grade applied to the balls themselves, not the guide assembly - run between double-lip seals under an outer cover that shields the seal strip from larger debris. Ball retention keeps balls captive during handling, though the manufacturer warns that angling the carriage onto the rail can still drop them. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the figures for your exact model when you 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.

| L | Long carriage. |
| 1X195 | 1 carriage on a 195 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| A | A — no preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |

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.
Guiding the vertical motion of a small SMT prototype placer placing 0402 components, where the long carriage's wider bearing span steadies an off-centre vacuum gripper.
Carrying the sample platen under a machine-vision camera checking solder joints on a 195 mm stroke, with grade H travel keeping the image path true.
Sliding the sample drawer of a benchtop biochemistry analyzer in and out on a 12 mm rail hidden under the deck, with grease top-ups possible through the rear lubrication hole.
Step up to AirTAC LSH when the load is substantial or hangs off a cantilever: LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, which LRM does not - we can only confirm LRM figures per model. Step across to LGC when travel is short and the job needs crossed-roller rigidity. Before committing to this set, run the checklist: form (complete set), rail width 12 mm, long carriage, one block, 195 mm rail, preload A (easiest to install, freest running, least rigid), accuracy H, top-mount fixing - and confirm the load rating with us via RFQ.
Quick checklist
It is a complete set: 12 mm wide stainless rail, 195 mm long, one long carriage, preload A (none), high accuracy grade, top-mount rail fixing. Screw torque: M2 - 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 - 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months; keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this model when you send the RFQ.
Pick LRM when the envelope is tiny and the duty is light-precision positioning; pick LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered, because LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can design against, while LRM's ratings are confirmed only per model with us. Availability also favours this choice: 924 of the 988 complete LRM sets we stock are size 12, so a 12 mm layout ships fastest.
