Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X470S10AHT
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X470S10AHT is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriages. 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 LRM12L2X470S10AHT
The LRM12L2X470S10AHT is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set: one 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 470 mm long, carrying two long (L) recirculating-ball carriages. The trailing T in the code means the rail is drilled for bottom-mounting, so it is clamped from underneath and no screw heads sit proud on the running surface. The set arrives pre-assembled and pre-greased.
Two long carriages on one rail give a wide bearing span, which helps resist tipping along the direction of travel, and the long body spreads the load over more recirculating balls than a standard carriage would. The balls are ISO 3290 grade G10, Japanese made; the double-lip seal scrapes oil back and excludes dust, while the outer cover hides the fixings and shields the seal strip. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with brief peaks to 100 C. AirTAC publishes no load or moment rating for LRM, so the figures for this exact set are confirmed per model - send the RFQ and we will come back with them.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X470S10AHT Is Used
Compact pick-and-place head
A Z-axis head lifting small electronic components benefits from the wide span of two long carriages, which resists the tipping moment as the head changes direction at the pick point.
Benchtop microscope stage
Sample positioning under a benchtop microscope needs smooth, high-accuracy travel in a small envelope, and the underslung rail keeps the top surface clear for the specimen holder.
Small XY marking stage
A 470 mm rail spans a compact XY stage for light-duty laser marking or dot-peen marking of serial plates, with both carriages sharing one straight reference edge.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X470S10AHT the Right Guide?
Size upward when the load is substantial or overhung: the LSH series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against, which LRM does not, so a cantilevered head is safer specified there. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than stroke, step across to LGC instead. Checklist for this set: form complete, 12 mm rail, long carriage, two blocks, 470 mm rail, preload A (free-sliding but with internal play), accuracy H, bottom-mount. Confirm the load rating with us before committing - an RFQ gets a figure for this exact 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 LRM12L2X470S10AHT FAQ
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 470 mm; two long carriages; preload A (none); accuracy grade H (high); bottom-mount rail fixing. Screw torques: M2 to 58.8 N.cm in steel, 39.2 N.cm in cast iron, 29.4 N.cm in aluminium; M3 to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron, 98 N.cm in aluminium. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease 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, so include this code in an RFQ.
It is a complete set: the 470 mm rail and both long carriages, assembled and pre-greased. No separate pairing code is needed on a set. Bear in mind for the future that AirTAC sells carriages on their own in only a handful of configurations, so a field replacement usually becomes a special order - and because even the ball-retention design can drop balls if a carriage is fitted at an angle or swapped hastily, plan on a dummy rail if carriage swaps are part of your maintenance routine.
