Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10BH
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10BH 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 LRM12N1X495S10BH
This set pairs a 495 mm length of 12 mm stainless rail with a single standard carriage - just under half of the 1005 mm full-length rail listed for size 12, long enough for a working axis yet short enough to stay affordable. Preload B is the light grade: clearance is trimmed for steadier motion at a small cost in running drag.
That trade-off has an installation side too - preload forgives a poor mounting face less, so ground or finish-milled seating is the honest requirement. The double-lip seal keeps grease in and grit out, the outer cover hides the fixings and guards the seal strip, and the carriage ships pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. Balls are ISO 3290 G10, Japanese-made - that grade belongs to the balls, not the assembly. Ambient ceiling: 80 C, transients to 100 C. LRM carries no published load or moment ratings, so we confirm them for this SKU via the RFQ.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10BH Is Used
Benchtop dispensing robot
Light preload B steadies the needle path when the head reverses at the start of a bead, without demanding a lapped mounting plate.
Coder head traverse
A thermal-inkjet coder slides across the face of cartons on a 495 mm axis; the H grade keeps the print line square to the box edge.
Microplate autosampler arm
The arm shuttles tips between wash station and deck all day; at that pace the 100 km re-grease point arrives within weeks, so plan the top-up access.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10BH the Right Guide?
Price here tracks length, not width: stocked sets run roughly $66 to $831 across only 12 and 15 mm rails, so a 495 mm single-carriage set sits mid-to-high in that spread while staying on the cheaper, better-stocked width. For serious loads or a cantilever, step up to LSH, whose catalogue lists per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings that LRM simply does not publish - we confirm each LRM model individually. Short travel demanding crossed-roller stiffness points to LGC. Match checklist: complete set, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage, one carriage, 495 mm rail, preload B - steadier motion but less forgiving of an imperfect mounting face, accuracy H, top-mount. Confirm the load rating with us before ordering.
Quick checklist

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 LRM12N1X495S10BH FAQ
12 mm rail width, 495 mm rail length, 10 mm end offset, a single standard-length carriage, light preload B, H high accuracy, top-mount mounting. Tighten M2 screws to 58.8 N.cm in steel, 39.2 N.cm in cast iron, 29.4 N.cm in aluminium; M3 figures are 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Ambient ceiling is 80 C, with transients to 100 C. Regrease after every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for the LRM series - ask us and we will confirm them for this model.
The moment LSH's published tables matter to you - they carry per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, none of which exist for LRM. Buy this LRM12 set when a 12 mm miniature envelope, smooth light-duty travel and quick availability (924 of our 988 stocked sets are size 12) outweigh a heavy duty cycle; we will still confirm the load figure for this specific SKU. If your axis is short and stiffness per millimetre is the goal, LGC crossed rollers win. Include the duty cycle in your RFQ and we will sanity-check the choice.
