Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10CHT
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10CHT 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 LRM12N1X495S10CHT
This complete set fixes its 12 mm wide, 495 mm long stainless rail from underneath - that is the trailing T in LRM12N1X495S10CHT - so the mounting screws live below the rail and the running face is left unbroken for whatever rides above it. A single standard carriage with medium preload C and high accuracy H runs on it, a combination chosen where repeatable positioning counts more than a friction-free glide.
Because preload C is the least tolerant of seat errors, installation discipline matters: torque the M3 screws to 196 N.cm into steel (127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium), and work the carriage along the rail gently rather than snappily - the ball-retention design helps, but balls can still drop if the carriage is angled on or swapped hastily, and a dummy rail is the careful fitter's tool. Store any spare set flat, coated with rust-preventive oil and bagged away from heat and humidity. Load and moment ratings are absent from the published data; we confirm the capacity for this specific model through the RFQ before you commit.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10CHT Is Used
Fastener vision sorting cell
A camera carriage gliding above the rail inspects screw head geometry on a sorting line, and the unbroken top face keeps the optics mounted flush with nothing to foul them.
Fine wire straightener feed table
A light feed table for fine wire holds position against pull-off forces thanks to the medium preload, while under-rail fixing keeps the working surface completely clear.
Compact labelling head gantry
A label applicator traversing packs on a small line uses the full 495 mm stroke, and with screws below the rail nothing protrudes into the label path.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X495S10CHT the Right Guide?
Pick LRM here for the tight envelope and smooth light-duty travel, not for a heavy load: when the load is substantial or cantilevered, LSH publishes the dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that LRM does not, and LGC covers short travels where crossed-roller stiffness is the priority. Ordering checklist: set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage, one carriage, 495 mm rail, preload C, accuracy H, bottom-mount fixing. Then confirm the load rating with us - a five-minute check that prevents an undersized guide reaching your machine.
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 LRM12N1X495S10CHT FAQ
A complete set: one 12 mm wide, 495 mm long stainless rail with one standard carriage pre-fitted, preload C (medium), accuracy H (high), bottom-mount (T) fixing. M3 fixing screws torque to 196 N.cm into steel. Ambient limit is 80 C, with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km or every 3 to 6 months with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 or equivalent - never mix lubricant types. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; ask us and we confirm them for this model.
A complete set - the 495 mm stainless rail with one carriage pre-fitted, not a separate rail and block. Keep the carriage square when fitting it and avoid rapid fit-and-remove cycles: the ball retainer helps, but angling the carriage can still drop balls, and a dummy rail is the safe way to swap carriages. Never dismantle the carriage or strike the rail, since hidden damage still costs accuracy. Carriage-only spares are a thin special-order category here, so treat this set as a unit and handle it accordingly.
