The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N3X190S7.5AH is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriages. 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 LRM12N3X190S7.5AH is a compact complete guide: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail only 190 mm long, carrying three standard-length recirculating-ball carriages, fixed from the top, with high (H) accuracy and no preload. Three carriages on so short a rail give you three independent fixing positions along the span without splitting the layout across multiple rails.
The series runs on a common-rail profile, so carriages from across the LRM range share this rail geometry. Inside each carriage, the balls are Japanese-made to ISO 3290 G10 grade; a double-lip seal scrapes lubricant back and keeps dust out, while the outer cover hides the screws and shields the seal strip from swarf and larger debris. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C. With three or more carriages on one rail, AirTAC advises placing the datum face on the same side for every carriage, which measurably improves running accuracy. A short rail like this sits at the low end of the stocked price spread, because rail length - not rail width - is what drives the price of LRM sets. Load and moment ratings are not published for the series; we confirm them per model via 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 compact SMT pick-and-place head that lifts several small components per pass can mount each suction beam section over its own carriage, spreading the fixings across three points on one short rail.
A workshop jig needing an adjustable stop or guide block sliding along a 190 mm axis can fix through three carriages, giving the fitter several clamping positions on a single rail.
An automated test bench scanning a probe across a small electronic assembly can carry the sensor on this three-carriage set, supporting the probe at more than one point over the short stroke.
Choose AirTAC LSH instead when the load is heavy or overhung: LSH carries published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can design against, where LRM offers none. For short-travel work needing crossed-roller rigidity, compare LGC as well. Before you buy, tick through the checklist: complete-set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, three carriages, 190 mm rail, preload A (the least rigid grade but the smoothest and the most forgiving of mounting error), accuracy H, top-mount fixing and the 7.5 mm end-hole offset. Confirm the load rating with us for this exact model as the final step before ordering.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 190 mm, three standard carriages, preload A (none), accuracy H (high), top-mount rail, 7.5 mm end-hole offset. Mount the rail on a ground or finish-milled surface to achieve the rated travel accuracy, and torque M2 screws to 58.8 N.cm in steel, 39.2 N.cm in cast iron, 29.4 N.cm in aluminium (M3: 196 / 127 / 98 N.cm). Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C with peaks to 100 C, and re-greasing falls due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. AirTAC publishes no dynamic, static or moment load ratings for LRM - we confirm them for this model on request.
LRM wins where the envelope is tight and the duty is light: a 12 mm rail, 190 mm long, with three carriages makes a compact, smooth precision axis. LSH is the larger series and its catalogue carries per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, so if your load is substantial or cantilevered it is the series you can actually calculate with. If the travel is short and you need crossed-roller stiffness, look at LGC too. Either way, confirm the load rating with us before ordering - for LRM we do it model by model.
