Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10CHT
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10CHT 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 LRM12N1X470S10CHT
LRM12N1X470S10CHT brings together two deliberate choices: a medium preload (C) carriage for a firmer, play-free travel, and a bottom-mount rail that bolts from underneath through its slots. You get a 12 mm wide stainless rail, 470 mm long, and one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage - a complete assembly, nothing to buy separately.
Handle this set with care during installation: never strike or drop the rail, since accuracy and life can suffer with no visible mark, and although the ball-retention design holds the ISO 3290 G10 graded balls (the grade applies to the balls alone) in place, sliding the carriage on at an angle or swapping it hastily can still shed them - a dummy rail helps. The double-lip seal and outer cover guard the raceways against grease loss and debris. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C. Because bottom-mount fasteners torque from inside the slot, check your screw access before the seat is machined - and remember the lower torque values into aluminium. AirTAC publishes no load or moment rating for LRM; we confirm it for this exact model, so put it in the RFQ.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10CHT Is Used
Laser module test rig
A bench rig cycling laser diode modules under a test station uses the preloaded carriage for repeatable positioning, with the rail hidden below the fixture plate thanks to bottom-mount fastening.
Microscope focus retrofit
Retrofitting a stereo microscope's focus column with a smooth vertical slide suits this set: medium preload removes backlash so the focus carriage holds its set point.
Parcel dimensioning sensor slide
A compact sensor head traversing above small parcels on a dimensioning bench needs firm, wander-free travel; bottom-mount keeps the top of the rail clear for the sensing path.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X470S10CHT the Right Guide?
Before you commit, confirm the two choices baked into this code suit the machine: medium preload C, which is the rigid but less forgiving option and asks for a clean, ground or finish-milled seat, and bottom-mount T, which needs fastener access from below. Then verify the remaining items: complete set (rail included), 12 mm rail width, standard carriage, one block, 470 mm rail length, high accuracy H. If the application involves heavy or cantilevered loads that demand published sizing data, step up to LSH - it lists per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, which LRM does not, so this model's capacity must be confirmed with us. For short-travel work where crossed-roller stiffness is the priority, compare LGC.
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 LRM12N1X470S10CHT FAQ
Included: one 12 mm wide stainless rail, 470 mm long, arranged for bottom-mount fixing, and one standard-length carriage with medium preload (C) and high accuracy grade (H), pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. There is no pairing code to worry about - that applies only to carriage-only codes, and this is a factory-matched set. Not included: spare carriages (mostly a special order, as only a few carriage-only SKUs are stocked) and any lubrication hardware; top up through the carriage's lubrication hole every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C with peaks to 100 C, and load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model on request.
The rail fastens from below through its slots, so use short-head screws and torque by material: M3 screws at 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron and 98 N.cm into aluminium; M2 screws at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 N.cm into cast iron and 29.4 N.cm into aluminium. Prepare the mating surface by grinding or finish milling so the rated travel accuracy is achievable, and keep the ambient temperature at or below 80 C in service.
