The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X70S10AH 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.
LRM12L1X70S10AH is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set: one 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, cut to 70 mm with a 10 mm end-hole offset, carrying a single long recirculating-ball carriage. The carriage arrives fitted to the rail and pre-filled with grease, ready to bolt down from above through the top-mount holes.
With preload code A the carriage runs free on the raceways, so drag is at its lowest and this is the easiest-running version of the 70 mm configuration - at the cost of a little internal clearance. The balls are ISO 3290 G10 grade, Japanese made, held by the ball-retention design; a double-lip seal scrapes oil and excludes dust, and an outer cover shields the seal strip while hiding the screw holes. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with transient peaks no higher than 100 C. Note the geometry: a long carriage occupies much of a 70 mm rail, so effective stroke is short - plan the machine layout around it. 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.

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 small camera inspection stage where a 12 mm rail under a long carriage gives stable, low-drag travel across a short imaging stroke.
Carrying a lightweight placement head on a benchtop SMD prototype machine, where smooth free-running motion helps repeatable component pickup.
A laboratory automation deck moving microplates between stations on a short, straight track that must fit inside a compact enclosure.
Size this part by form first: a complete set (rail plus one long carriage), 12 mm rail width, 70 mm rail length, preload A, accuracy H, top-mount. If your load is substantial or cantilevered, step up to AirTAC LSH instead - LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against, which LRM does not. If travel is very short and the job needs crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the closer match. Before ordering, work the checklist: set or carriage-only form, rail width, carriage length and count, rail length, preload (A keeps motion free but leaves clearance), accuracy grade, mounting direction - and confirm the load rating with us for the specific model.
Quick checklist
A complete set: one 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 70 mm long with a 10 mm end-hole offset, and one long carriage - preload A (none), accuracy H (high), top-mount fixing. Screw torque: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3-6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for your model before ordering.
It is the full set - rail and one long carriage supplied together. If you only need a spare carriage, that is a different LRM12 code ending in BK, with no rail and no preload position, and carriage-only parts are carried in very small numbers, so plan a complete set or ask us about arranging a replacement.
