Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X45S10AH
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X45S10AH 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.

About the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X45S10AH
This is the complete LRM12N1X45S10AH miniature linear guide set from AirTAC: one 45 mm length of 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail with one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage, a 10 mm end-hole offset, no preload and high (H) accuracy, prepared for top-mount fixing. The box holds the rail and carriage assembled as one unit and nothing else; screws and mounting hardware come from your own stock.
Underneath the small envelope sit the features AirTAC builds into every LRM: a common rail profile shared by all LRM carriages, ball retention that stops the balls scattering during handling, ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls chosen for roundness and wear, a double-lip seal for grease retention and dust exclusion, and an outer cover that hides the fixing screws and shields the seal strip. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with brief peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for this series, so we confirm the figure for your exact model before you order - send the RFQ and we will come back with it.

| N | Standard carriage. |
| 1X45 | 1 carriage on a 45 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| A | A — no preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X45S10AH Is Used
Compact XY vision stage
A benchtop camera inspection stage built around two short axes: 45 mm of travel is enough for field-of-view stepping under a lens, and the no-preload A grade keeps the stage gliding freely during manual framing.
Optics bench alignment slide
Aligning a laser or fiber coupler calls for fine, repeatable nudges over a short span. A 12 mm stainless rail with a single standard carriage gives a clean one-axis slide that fits inside crowded optical layouts.
Laser diode focusing carriage
Mounting a focusing lens or sensor on a short trim slide lets an operator set focus once and lock it. High accuracy H keeps the axis true over the 45 mm of travel without over-constraining the design.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X45S10AH the Right Guide?
Size across the range first. If the load is substantial or hangs off a cantilever, step up to AirTAC LSH, which publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can plug straight into a calculation; LRM gives you none of those numbers on paper. If travel is short and the job wants crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the better cross-grade match.
Before committing, tick every box: complete set form (rail included, not a carriage-only code), 12 mm rail width, standard carriage, one carriage, 45 mm rail, preload A (freest running and easiest to align), accuracy H, top-mount fixing, and a load rating confirmed with us before ordering. A 45 mm rail like this is also the affordable end of the range - stocked LRM12 sets span roughly $66 to $831, and rail length is what drives that spread, not rail width.
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 LRM12N1X45S10AH FAQ
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 45 mm, one standard-length carriage, preload A (none) and accuracy grade H, fixed from the top with a 10 mm end-hole offset. Screw torques: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron and 29.4 into aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C, and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Basic dynamic and static load ratings and moment ratings are not published for the LRM series; we confirm the figures for this exact model before you order - just send the RFQ.
LRM is the small end of the range, chosen for size, precision and smooth running in light-duty positioning. If your load is heavy, cantilevered or subject to overturning moments, move up to LSH: that series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, which LRM does not offer on paper. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than stroke, LGC is the cross-grade alternative. Either way, send us the load, moment and duty cycle and we will confirm the right series and model.
