The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X395S10AHT 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 LRM12L1X395S10AHT is a complete miniature linear guide set: one 395 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, carrying a single long recirculating-ball carriage, shipped assembled and pre-greased. The trailing T in the code makes this a bottom-mount rail, so the fixing screws are reached from below and the top face of the rail stays clear for a shroud, wiper or moving cover.
The long carriage spans more balls than the standard block, which lengthens the bearing span and helps any tipping component ride steadier along the 395 mm of travel. The balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 grade - a ball grade only, not a standard for the assembly - held by a ball-retainer that reduces, without eliminating, dropped balls during angled fitting, behind a double-lip seal and an outer cover. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with transient peaks no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; describe your arrangement on the RFQ and we confirm the figure for this exact model before you commit.

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.
A benchtop automated optical inspection unit for PCB assemblies runs its camera head on this bottom-mounted rail, keeping the rail's top face clear beneath a moving shroud.
In a small laser marking cell, the long carriage carries a beam-folding mirror assembly across the working window without tipping on the offset optics.
An electronics test bench uses the 395 mm axis to index a nest of USB-C connectors under a probe head, one station at a time.
Size up to LSH when the load is substantial or overhung: LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can plug straight into a calculation, which LRM deliberately does not. If the travel is short and stiffness matters more than stroke, LGC crossed-roller guides are the stiffer cross-check worth pricing. Before ordering, tick the checklist: set or carriage only, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, 1 carriage, 395 mm rail, preload A (none - freest running and most forgiving of surface finish), accuracy H, bottom-mount direction, and confirm the load rating with us. The mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled for the travel accuracy to hold.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 395 mm; one long carriage; preload A (none); accuracy H (high); bottom-mount rail; stainless-steel rail. Screw torque: M3 screws take 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron, 98 N.cm into aluminium (M2 screws: 58.8, 39.2 and 29.4 N.cm in the same order). Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model - ask on the RFQ.
You receive the complete set: one 395 mm stainless rail with the long carriage already fitted and pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. No pairing code applies to a set. If you later need a spare carriage on its own, note that carriage-only LRM SKUs are scarce in our stock (four SKUs, all pairing code C) and most replacements are a special order - a dummy rail helps fit it without dropping balls.
