The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X230S15AH 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 LRM12N1X230S15AH is a complete set: a single 230 mm rail in 12 mm wide stainless steel with one standard recirculating-ball carriage running on it, mounted from above through the top of the rail. The S15 end-hole offset places the first mounting holes 15 mm in from the rail end, which shifts where your tapped holes must sit and can matter when butting the rail against a shoulder or clearing a fixed feature.
Preload code A means no preload, so the carriage glides with the least drag this series offers - a good match when you push the slide by hand or with a light actuator. The carriage holds ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls in a recirculating circuit, with a double-lip seal for oil retention and dust exclusion and an outer cover shielding the seal strip and screw heads. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, with short peaks to 100 C. LRM carries no published load rating; tell us the model and we confirm the figure with your 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 multi-position autosampler slide in an analytical lab, where the unloaded carriage glides between vial positions with minimal push force.
A semiconductor die-attach inspection fixture where a light carriage carries a camera over wafers without disturbing placement.
A fibre-optic alignment slide adjusted by hand during bench testing, helped by the low-friction, preload-free fit.
With a 230 mm rail, one standard carriage and no preload, this set suits light, smooth-moving slides rather than stiffly located ones - if the job needs a rigid, preloaded guide, look at a C-preload LRM12 set instead. Where loads are substantial or cantilevered, LSH publishes the per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings needed to size properly, which LRM does not; for short travel needing crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the alternative.
Check before you order: set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage, one block, 230 mm rail length, 15 mm end-hole offset, no preload, high accuracy grade, top-mount rail, and a load rating confirmed with us - plus the pairing code only if you are mixing carriages between rails.
Quick checklist
You receive one 12 mm wide, 230 mm long stainless-steel rail with one standard-length carriage on it - a complete set, mounted from above. Preload is A (none), accuracy is H (high), and the first end mounting holes sit 15 mm from the rail end. Torque the fixing screws to 58.8 N.cm (M2) or 196 N.cm (M3) into steel; lower values apply to cast iron and aluminium. Re-grease with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 every 100 km or every 3 to 6 months and keep ambient temperature under 80 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model.
One complete set: the 230 mm stainless rail and one standard carriage, delivered pre-assembled with grease already inside. Nothing else is needed to mount it - though mounting screws are not supplied, so order M2 or M3 cap screws separately and match them to your tapped holes. Note that mounting surfaces must be ground or finish-milled for the rated travel accuracy, and either edge of the rail can serve as the datum face.
