The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X240S7.5AH 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 LRM12N1X240S7.5AH is a full miniature linear guide set built around a 240 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with one standard recirculating-ball carriage. Its S7.5 end-hole offset sets the first mounting holes just 7.5 mm from the rail end - the closest of the common offsets - which shortens the unusable dead length at each end of the stroke and frees more travel from a given envelope.
Preload code A leaves the ball circuit unloaded, so the carriage moves with the lightest drag and any slop stays minimal at the light duties a 12 mm miniature guide is meant for. The recirculating balls are ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls; a double-lip seal scrapes oil back and excludes dust, while an outer cover hides the screws and shields the seal strip. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C. No load or moment figure is published for LRM - we will confirm the rating for this model when you send the 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 bench measuring fixture that carries a dial-indicator stand across machined parts, where the high accuracy grade supports repeatable readings.
A small adhesive micro-dispensing table in an electronics prototyping cell, sliding a nozzle with light, consistent drag over the board.
A compact laser marking slide that repositions a workpiece holder between jobs at a quick, hand-set pace.
If tipping or a cantilevered part is in the picture, a long-carriage version of this same set costs nothing in availability here - long carriages are stocked about as deeply as standard ones - and spreads the load over more balls. For genuinely substantial or overhung loads, move up to LSH, whose published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings allow real calculation; LRM has no published table. Short travel demanding crossed-roller stiffness points to LGC instead.
Run through the match list: complete set, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, one carriage, 240 mm rail, 7.5 mm end-hole offset, no preload (light sliding, less rigidity), high accuracy, top-mount rail, and a confirmed load rating from us before commitment.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 240 mm; one standard-length carriage; preload A (none); accuracy H (high); top-mount rail; end-hole offset 7.5 mm. Screws: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel (39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium), M3 at 196 N.cm (127, 98). The carriage arrives filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2; re-grease every 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C, with 100 C transients. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this specific model before you order.
LSH is the larger series and publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, so you can calculate a margin against a known load. LRM - this guide - publishes none of those figures, which is why we confirm the rating per model instead of quoting a table. Choose LRM when the priority is a miniature 12 mm envelope with smooth, accurate motion at light duty; choose LSH when the load is real and must be verified. If the travel is short but stiffness is critical, LGC's crossed rollers are the third option.
