The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X120S10AHT 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.
LRM12N1X120S10AHT is the bottom-mount version of the AirTAC LRM12 miniature guide set: a 120 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with one standard-length ball carriage. The trailing T in the code means the rail is fixed from beneath the mounting surface, leaving the top face unbroken - useful when anything must slide over or seat against the rail without crossing screw heads. Accuracy is grade H, preload A, and the carriage count is one.
The carriage carries ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls in a retention circuit, sealed by a double-lip design with an outer cover over the seal strip. Two handling cautions matter for a bottom-mount build: the carriage is retained but can still shed balls if it is angled onto the rail or swapped hastily, and on any inclined rail the carriage can slide off under its own weight, so hold it during fitting. Keep the ambient temperature at or under 80 C. AirTAC publishes no load or moment figures for LRM; send the RFQ and we will confirm the rating for this model before you order.

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 specimen stage under a stereo microscope, where the underside-fixed rail keeps the working top surface clear and the H-grade rail gives repeatable 120 mm traverse at bench scale.
A small camera sliding along a frame to scan parts from above: the bottom-mount fixing hides fasteners from the lens path, and the standard carriage gives a compact mounting pad.
A drawer-like module in a benchtop tester, guided on a 12 mm rail fixed from below so the visible fascia stays clean; zero preload keeps the pull-out effort low for operators.
Start from the mounting direction: if your machine base cannot be drilled from above, or the top of the rail must stay clear for a mating part, this bottom-mount set is the right form. Then compare series - LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that let you size a heavier or cantilevered load on paper, which LRM does not; LGC wins for short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness. Before ordering, verify: complete set, 12 mm rail, 120 mm length, one standard carriage, preload A (freest running, least rigid of the three grades), accuracy H, bottom-mount. We confirm the load rating per model - include your load case in the RFQ.
Quick checklist
This is a complete set, not a bare carriage: one 120 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with 10 mm end-hole offsets, plus one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage fitted to it. Preload is code A (none), accuracy grade H, and the T at the end of the code specifies bottom-mount fixing - the rail bolts down from beneath the mating surface. The carriage arrives pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. If you ever need a spare carriage on its own, that is a different code shape (with BK in it), and carriage-only stock is very thin, so most spares are a special order. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model via RFQ.
Prepare the mating surface by grinding or finish-milling so the travel accuracy of the H-grade rail is achieved, and either long side of the rail may serve as the datum face. Fix it from below per the bottom-mount design, using the screw torque for your fastener and material - for example M3 screws at 196 N.cm into steel or 98 N.cm into aluminium. Before first use, wipe off the rust-preventive oil and apply lubricant through the hole at the rear of the carriage, stroking it until a film shows across the rail. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first, and never mix lubricant types. Load ratings are not published for this series; we confirm them for your model on request.
