Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X495S10AP
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X495S10AP 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 LRM12L1X495S10AP
LRM12L1X495S10AP is the precision-grade (P) version of a complete LRM miniature guide set: one stainless-steel rail 12 mm wide and 495 mm long, end holes offset 10 mm, with one long recirculating-ball carriage factory-fitted. Fixing is top-mount, screws entering the rail's upper face. Preload A leaves the ball circuit free of interference, so the P grade is bought for straightness of travel, not for a tighter-running feel.
Where P grade earns its keep is in work that measures as it moves: an inspection camera, a probe or an optical axis cannot tolerate the small lateral wander that a high-grade (H) rail permits. The carriage runs on ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls - the grade applies to the balls, not to an assembly standard - retained against falling out, wiped by a double-lip seal and sheltered by an outer cover. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks 100 C. One commercial note: across two rail widths our stocked sets span roughly $66 to $831, so rail length and carriage count, not size, drive the price - trimming travel is the cheapest way to trim cost. No load or moment rating is published for LRM; we confirm it per model through the RFQ.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X495S10AP Is Used
Coordinate checking fixture for machined housings
A small CMM-style fixture probing aluminium housings needs the slide to track straight over its half-metre; P grade travel accuracy keeps the probe path honest.
Electronics assembly vision stage
A camera stage inspecting solder joints on PCB panels benefits from precision-grade running so the optics hold registration across the 495 mm span.
Microscope sample translator
Moving slides or wafers under a laboratory objective at a steady rhythm demands low-friction, repeatable travel; preload A keeps drag minimal for smooth motor control.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X495S10AP the Right Guide?
If the duty involves real weight or a cantilever, move up to LSH - it is the series that publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, so your sizing maths rests on figures rather than on confirmation emails. If travel is short and you need crossed-roller stiffness rather than ball-plain smoothness, LGC is the cross-wise alternative. This set is for light-duty positioning where travel straightness is the spec that matters most.
Run the checklist: complete set; 12 mm rail width; long (L) carriage; one block; 495 mm rail; preload A, accepting lower rigidity in exchange for free-running motion; accuracy P; top-mount; no pairing code, as carriage and rail ship together. P grade is stocked alongside H, so choosing precision here does not push you into special orders. Before you lock the design in, ask us to confirm the load and moment ratings for this specific model.
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 LRM12L1X495S10AP FAQ
Complete set: 12 mm wide stainless rail, 495 mm length, 10 mm end-hole offset, one long (L) carriage, preload A (none), accuracy P (precision), top-mount rail, M3 fixing screws torqued to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron, 98 N.cm in aluminium. Environmental limit: 80 C ambient, 100 C transient peaks. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months with a compatible grease - never mix lubricant types. Load ratings, moment ratings and running-parallelism values are not published for the LRM series; we confirm those for this model before you commit.
The set ships complete: the 495 mm stainless rail with the long precision carriage already mounted, so no pairing code is needed and nothing has to be assembled by hand. Before first use, wipe off the rust-preventive oil and apply lubricant through the hole at the carriage's rear, stroking the carriage to spread an even film. Not included: rail-only lengths, bolt caps, or a second carriage - one block is what the X1 code specifies. If you later need a replacement carriage, that is normally a special order because carriage-only stock is very thin.
