The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM15L1X110S15BH 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.
This is the wider of the two LRM sizes most readily listed: a 15 mm stainless-steel rail, just 110 mm long with end holes 15 mm from each end, carrying a single long-body carriage. The long body is the defining choice here - it lengthens the bearing span and spreads the guided load over more balls, which helps any tipping component such as an overhung bracket or a small Z-axis plate. On a rail this short, the carriage occupies a large share of the travel, so check that the working stroke leaves room for the body at both ends.
The carriage recirculates ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls - the grade applies to the balls alone, not the guide - held by a ball-retention design, sealed by a double lip and covered by an outer shell that keeps debris off the seal strip. Preload B adds light preload: less running play than grade A, at the cost of needing a flatter, better-finished mounting face to keep drag low. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C with transient peaks no higher than 100 C. No load or moment rating is published for LRM; we confirm the figures for this exact 15 mm set when you send the RFQ.

A short belt- or cable-driven carriage carrying a small inspection camera suits this 110 mm rail; the long body steadies the camera head against pitch as it accelerates and stops.
A shielding shutter sliding across a small inspection port rides well on the wider 15 mm rail; the long carriage keeps the shutter from rocking in its guide, and the 80 C ambient cap should be checked near any warm source.
Toolmakers use short miniature rails to reposition stops and fences on drill and honing jigs; a single long carriage gives the fence a stable base on a compact 110 mm rail.
Family choice first: LRM for compact, light-duty guidance; LSH when the load is heavy or cantilevered, because LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against while LRM ratings must be confirmed per model; LGC when the travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity is the priority. Then confirm this code's details: complete-set form (rail plus one long carriage), 15 mm rail width, long carriage body, 110 mm rail, preload B and its installation trade-off, accuracy H, top-mount fixing, 15 mm end offset. Note that 15 mm sets are the scarcer of the two sizes we list, so a design drawn around 12 mm rails generally follows the easier sourcing path. Send the RFQ and we will confirm the load ratings for this model.
Quick checklist
Rail width 15 mm, rail length 110 mm, one long-body carriage, end-hole offset 15 mm, preload B (light), accuracy grade H, top-mount rail fixing. Fix with M3 screws at 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron or 98 N.cm into aluminium; ambient temperature limit 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C; re-grease 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 through your RFQ.
Preload B places the balls under light internal load, so running play is reduced compared with preload A. The trade-off is friction: the mounting faces should be ground or finish-milled and reasonably flat, or the preloaded carriage will drag and wear unevenly. For a free-running slide with looser tolerances, choose a preload A code instead. And if you need a figure to size the load against, remember that LRM ratings are confirmed per model - ask us.
