The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM15L1X135S7.5AH 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 a complete AirTAC LRM15 miniature linear guide set: one 15 mm wide stainless-steel rail, cut to 135 mm, with a single long (L) recirculating-ball carriage already fitted and ready to travel. The end mounting holes sit 7.5 mm in from each rail end (the S7.5 offset), and the rail mounts from the top with cap screws. There is no separate assembly step - the carriage ships on the rail.
The long block is the feature to notice here: its greater footprint gives a steadier bearing span than the standard carriage, which helps any small overhang or tipping tendency in a compact layout. Inside, the recirculating balls are ISO 3290 G10 grade (that grade applies to the balls only, not to the guide assembly as a standard), held in place by a ball-retention design during handling. A double-lip seal scrapes oil back and excludes dust, and an outer cover shields the seal strip and screw heads. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with transient peaks no higher than 100 C - keep the axis clear of heater banks and hot enclosures. LRM carries no published load or moment figures; we confirm the numbers for this exact model before you order, so send the RFQ and we will come back with them.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LRM catalogue. The catalogue does not publish load or moment ratings, running parallelism, speed limits, or carriage base material for LRM. We will not quote a figure we cannot source — ask us and we will confirm it for your model.

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.
Positioning a photodiode or compact camera module along a 135 mm axis on an optical breadboard, where a 15 mm rail fits the breadboard hole pattern without crowding neighbouring optics.
Carrying a small syringe dispenser head over short, repeated strokes in an electronics encapsulation cell, where the long carriage steadies the head at the end of its reach.
Translating a PCB assembly under a bank of spring probes on a bench-top continuity tester, where smooth, play-free travel protects fine contact tips.
Rail length, not rail size, drives the price of stocked LRM sets - the range spans roughly $66 to $831 across only two rail widths, so trimming travel before trimming size is where the savings are. A 135 mm rail sits at the compact end of that spread. If the load turns out to be substantial or cantilevered, step up to LSH: it publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, which LRM does not. If travel is very short and the job demands crossed-roller rigidity, step across to LGC instead. Before ordering, run the checklist: set form (rail included), 15 mm rail width, long carriage, one carriage, 135 mm rail length, preload A (no built-in drag, the freest-sliding grade), accuracy H, top-mount mounting, and a confirmed load rating from us - never assume one.
Quick checklist
Rail width 15 mm, rail length 135 mm, one long (L) carriage, preload A (none), accuracy grade H (high), top-mount rail, end-hole offset 7.5 mm. Screw torque for mounting: M2 screws 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 screws 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient temperature limit 80 C with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months; grease quantities vary per model within a published 0.02/0.01 to 1.0/0.50 cm3 range. Basic dynamic load, static load and moment ratings are not published for the LRM series - we confirm them for this exact model on request, so please raise an RFQ before committing the design.
Choose LRM when the envelope is tight and the duty is light - a 15 mm stainless rail with a recirculating-ball carriage gives smooth, accurate motion in a small footprint. Choose LSH when the load is heavy or hangs off the carriage, because LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can plug straight into your sizing calculation, whereas LRM ratings are confirmed model by model through us. If you are unsure, send us the stroke, orientation and payload and we will confirm which series and which exact load figures apply.
