The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM15L1X100S10AH is a miniature linear guide on a 15 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.
The LRM15L1X100S10AH is a complete, ready-to-mount miniature guide: a 100 mm long, 15 mm wide stainless-steel rail with a single long-body carriage, drilled for top-mount fixing with a 10 mm end-hole offset, supplied without preload (grade A) to high accuracy H. In a package this short, remember the carriage itself occupies much of the rail, so usable stroke is a fraction of the 100 mm length - check the geometry against your machine before freezing the layout.
Putting a long carriage on a short rail is a deliberate trade: the extended body widens the gap between the ball contact rows, steadying a carried lens, sensor or tool against tipping, at the cost of stroke. Japanese-made balls graded ISO 3290 G10 - a grade for the balls alone, not the assembly - run under a double-lip seal, an outer cover shields the seal strip and screw heads, and a ball-retainer holds the balls during handling. Keep the surroundings at or below 80 C, with brief peaks to 100 C. LRM publishes no load or moment figures; tell us this model and your duty cycle and we confirm the rating before you order.

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 short-stroke focus slide cycling continuously on a compact laser marker: the long carriage holds the lens barrel square over the limited travel, and the 100 km re-grease interval is the one to watch at this cycle rate.
An edge-alignment pusher at a small PCB conveyor interface, nudging boards square before placement; the 15 mm rail takes the light side thrust of the pusher needle in its stride.
A cap-press slide inside a small vial-capping cell, where the 100 mm rail tucks into a slim frame and top-mount fixing suits a machined deck that can be drilled from above.
This 15 mm set sits in the lighter-stocked half of the range: we hold 924 LRM12 sets against 63 in 15 mm, so if the design is still open, a 12 mm rail will usually ship sooner and cheaper - across our stock, rail length and carriage count drive the price far more than rail width. Stay with this part when you specifically need the 15 mm width and a long carriage on a compact axis. If loads grow or go cantilevered, step up to LSH, which publishes the per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings that LRM does not; for short-travel crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the alternative.
Checklist: complete set, 15 mm rail width, long carriage, one block, 100 mm rail, preload A for free-moving travel (preload B or C gives a firmer, stiffer feel at the cost of running resistance), accuracy H, top-mount mounting, plus a load-rating confirmation with us.
Quick checklist
A complete set: 15 mm wide stainless rail, 100 mm long, one long-body carriage, top-mount fixing with a 10 mm end-hole offset, preload grade A (none) and high accuracy H. Use M3 fixing screws at 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron and 98 N.cm into aluminium. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, peaking briefly to 100 C, and re-greasing falls due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this exact model before ordering.
If the load is light and the envelope tight, this set is the right tool - the long carriage buys you bearing span without a bigger rail. The moment the load becomes substantial, offset or cantilevered, move to LSH: it publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can design against, which LRM does not (we confirm LRM figures per model). Worth knowing too: LRM12 is stocked far more deeply than 15 mm - 924 sets against 63 - so if the width is negotiable, a 12 mm design usually ships sooner. For short travel needing crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the other exit.
