The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X70S10AHT 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 trailing T in LRM12L1X70S10AHT means the rail is fixed from below instead of from above - the right choice when the deck above the guide must stay clear. Everything else is standard LRM12 fare: a 12 mm wide stainless rail cut to 70 mm, one long recirculating-ball carriage, high accuracy, no preload, and a 10 mm screw-hole offset at each end. The set ships assembled, seals and covers in place.
Two installation notes earn their place here. Mounting surfaces should be ground or finish-milled to reach the rated travel accuracy, and if a second carriage is added later, the datum edge goes on the same side of the rail for both. Handle the carriage on an inclined rail with a hand on it - it can slide off under its own weight. Balls are Japanese-made and graded ISO 3290 G10 (the balls alone), the seal is a double lip, and the ambient limit is 80 C. Load and moment values are not published for LRM, so we confirm them for this model against your RFQ 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 through-beam sensor bracket mounts beneath a small conveyor deck; the bottom-mount rail fixes from below so the working surface above the guide stays clear for product flow.
A first-article inspection fixture on a milling bench slides a part in front of a height gauge; a ground fixture plate gives the mounting accuracy this guide expects to hold its travel precision.
Retrofitting an older glue-dispensing bench: the underside fixing lets the new 70 mm rail drop into a slot machined in the base plate without touching the top deck of the machine.
Start by asking whether you need published numbers: if the answer is yes, the LSH series carries them (per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings) while LRM does not, so substantial or cantilevered duties belong on LSH. If the stroke is short and the priority is crossed-roller rigidity rather than ball smoothness, LGC is the alternative. For this bottom-mount set, check: complete-set form, 12 mm rail width, 70 mm rail length, long carriage, preload A (lowest drag, lowest rigidity), accuracy H, underside fixing. The load rating is confirmed per model - include the duty in your RFQ.
Quick checklist
The rail is 12 mm wide and 70 mm long, with one long carriage, preload A (none), H-grade accuracy and fixing from below via 10 mm offset holes. Use 58.8 N.cm for M2 screws in steel (39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium) or 196 N.cm for M3 (127, 98). Keep ambient at 80 C or less, peaks 100 C. Grease - Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 - is refreshed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months; with this axis's short stroke, the calendar will usually arrive first. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM: we confirm them for this exact model via the RFQ.
You receive one assembled set: a 70 mm stainless rail and a single long carriage, pre-filled with grease, seals and covers in place - no separate parts to order. The T in the code means the mounting direction is bottom-mount: the rail fixes from below, which suits frames where the top face must remain unobstructed. Prepare the mounting surface by grinding or finish milling, and if you add a second carriage later, keep both datum edges on the same side of the rail.
