The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X345S10AHT 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.
LRM12L1X345S10AHT is the bottom-mount version of the 345 mm size 12 set: one stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with a single long recirculating-ball carriage. The trailing T means the rail is fixed from beneath, so a designer can tuck the guide under a plate or inside a channel where no fastener head can be allowed on the running face. The carriage is the long L type, preload is A (none), accuracy is H, and the end holes begin 10 mm from each rail end.
Bottom mounting puts the preparation burden on the mating channel: the surface must be ground or finish-milled, and either side of the rail can serve as the datum face - with more than one carriage, keep the datum on the same side for better running accuracy. Handling needs care too. The ball-retention design helps, but the manufacturer warns that inserting the carriage at an angle, or fitting and removing it quickly, can still drop balls, and on an inclined rail the carriage can slide off under its own weight; hold it, and consider a dummy rail for swaps. Inside are Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls behind a double-lip seal and an outer cover. Ambient temperature stays at or below 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this 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.

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.
Mounted under the stage plate of a small inspection microscope, the bottom-mount rail carries the focus motion with no fastener heads protruding above the working surface.
A compact SCARA or cobot gripper uses the 345 mm axis to reposition between part sizes, and the underside fixing keeps the assembly profile low over the arm.
Upgrading an older manual bench slide to a true recirculating-ball guide: the underside-fixed rail drops into an existing channel machined from below.
Before ordering, size the application both ways. Substantial or overhung loads belong on AirTAC LSH, which publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against - the exact table LRM lacks. Short-travel work needing crossed-roller rigidity belongs on LGC. Then walk this set's checklist: complete set form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage body, one carriage per rail, 345 mm length, preload A for the lightest drag, H accuracy grade, bottom-mount direction, and - because LRM publishes no load table - a rating confirmed with us for this specific model. If you plan to replace the carriage in service, only a few carriage-only SKUs are stocked, so the pairing code on your parts matters.
Quick checklist
A 12 mm wide, 345 mm long stainless rail, bottom-mount fixing (trailing T), one long carriage, no preload, high accuracy H, end holes 10 mm from the rail ends. Screws: M3 at 196 N.cm into steel, 127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium; M2 at 58.8 / 39.2 / 29.4 N.cm. Keep the environment at or below 80 C with peaks to 100 C, and re-grease after every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, starting from the factory charge of Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. AirTAC states no load or moment rating for LRM, so those figures are confirmed per model through us.
In three words: size, envelope, documentation. This LRM set is built for miniature, light-duty positioning where a 12 mm rail and a compact carriage fit a tight machine, whereas LSH is a larger series whose catalogue publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage for proper sizing calculations. LRM offers no such table, so its selection leans on dimensions, accuracy grade and smooth running, with the load rating confirmed per model through us. If your duty cycle or overhang is at all doubtful, let us check the numbers before you settle on LRM.
