The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X145S10AHT 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.
LRM12N1X145S10AHT is the bottom-mount version of this 145 mm LRM12 set: the trailing T in the code puts the fixing screws underneath, so the rail bolts up into a seat from below rather than down from above. You get a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail with one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage, no preload (A) and high accuracy (H).
Bottom mounting rewards planning: the mating surface must be ground or finish-milled to achieve the rated travel accuracy, the datum face can be either side of the rail, and with more than one carriage the datum should sit on the same side for all of them. The manufacturer cautions that the ball-retention feature, while helpful, does not make the carriage drop-proof - fitting or removing it at an angle can release the ISO 3290 G10 balls, so work square and slow. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; include your duty cycle in the RFQ and we will confirm the ratings for this exact 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.
Retrofitting a guided slide into a fixture body where the rail sits in a machined slot and the screws must go in from underneath - the reason the T code exists.
Carrying a light probe head over a row of connectors on a benchtop tester, where the 145 mm stroke spans the connector field and the rail hides below the deck.
Holding a small mirror bracket upside-down under an optical rail in a teaching lab, with the bottom-mount screws concealed inside the mount body.
Lead with the mounting question: if your machine cannot offer a clear top surface - a rail seated in a slot, an overhead obstruction, a fixture body that flips - the T in this code is the reason to pick it over the top-mount LRM12N1X145S10AH. Size up to LSH when the load is substantial or overhung, because LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can verify, which LRM does not. Keep LGC in mind for short travels that need crossed-roller rigidity.
Confirm before ordering: form (complete set), rail width 12 mm, standard carriage, carriage count 1, rail length 145 mm, preload A (none - the forgiving choice to install, with the least inherent rigidity), accuracy H, bottom-mount direction. Replacing a part later? Carriage-only items carry a pairing code, our stock of them is thin, so confirm the load rating with us and order accordingly.
Quick checklist
12 mm rail width, 145 mm rail length, one standard carriage, bottom-mount rail (code T), preload A (none), accuracy H (high). Screw torque when fitting: M2 - 58.8 N.cm steel, 39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium; M3 - 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Maximum ambient temperature 80 C, short peaks to 100 C. Re-grease after every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Basic load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model before you order.
The set contains the 145 mm stainless-steel rail and one standard carriage, nothing else - no screws and no end stops. The trailing T changes only how the rail is fixed: the bolt holes are used from beneath, so your base plate needs matching tapped holes or counterbores and a surface ground or finish-milled to grade. Handling tip from the manufacturer: on an inclined rail the carriage can slide off under its own weight, so hold it during installation, and never strike the rail - damage that affects accuracy and life is not always visible.
