The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X75S12.5AH 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.
This LRM12N1X75S12.5AH is a complete miniature linear guide from AirTAC's LRM series: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail cut to 75 mm, carrying one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage. The S12.5 in the code sets the distance from the rail end to the first mounting hole, so you can check your base-plate drilling before you order. The set arrives pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease and bolts down through its top face.
The carriage rides on Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls - a grade covering the balls alone, not the assembly - kept captive by the ball-retention design, and sealed by a double-lip wiper under an outer cover that hides the fixing screws. One figure worth designing around: ambient temperature is limited to 80 C with peaks to 100 C, which rules out mounting right beside a heating element or a hot lamp. Also note that the 100 km re-grease interval arrives sooner than it sounds - a short stroke cycling continuously can cover the distance in a matter of weeks - so plan grease access from the start. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; tell us the model and we confirm the figure through an RFQ.

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 precision dispenser head traversing over a PCB test panel in short, repeatable moves; the no-preload carriage keeps breakaway friction low for a small stepper or cam drive.
A semiconductor laboratory fixture holding a probe card under a stereo microscope and adjusting along one axis; the 75 mm rail suits a benchtop envelope.
A compact inspection camera gliding along a row of solder joints on an AOI bench rig, where the 12 mm rail width keeps the optics close to the board.
Start with the numbers that decide fit: 12 mm rail width, 75 mm rail length, one standard carriage, no preload (grade A - the smoothest-running and most forgiving choice, at the cost of some play under reversing loads), H high accuracy and top-mount screw fixing. If your plate is already drilled, verify the S12.5 end offset against the hole pattern. When the slide carries real weight or a cantilever, move up to AirTAC LSH, whose catalogue lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage - the published numbers LRM lacks, and which you need to size anything beyond light duty. For short travel demanding crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is the alternative. Send us the load case and we will confirm whether this LRM12 model carries it.
Quick checklist
A 12 mm wide, 75 mm long stainless rail with a single standard-length carriage, preload grade A (none), accuracy grade H (high), top-mount fixing and a 12.5 mm end-hole offset. Fix with M3 screws at 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron or 98 N.cm into aluminium. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C (100 C peaks) and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for the LRM series; we confirm them per model when you enquire.
A complete, matched unit: one 75 mm stainless-steel LRM12 rail with one standard carriage already fitted, pre-greased and sealed. Nothing is missing and no separate matching is needed - unlike a carriage-only LRM12BK code, which supplies a block alone and must carry the pairing letter of an existing rail. If you later want spare blocks, be aware that only a handful of carriage-only LRM SKUs are stocked, so most replacements are ordered specially.
