The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM15L1X140S25AH 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.
LRM15L1X140S25AH is a complete miniature linear guide set from the AirTAC LRM series: a 15 mm wide stainless-steel rail, cut to 140 mm, supplied with one long-series carriage already fitted. Its distinguishing figure is the S25 end-hole offset - the first mounting hole on each end lies 25 mm in from the rail end. That offset buys clearance at the rail ends for end stops, machine walls or bellows that would otherwise collide with hardware at the very tip.
The L carriage stretches the ball footprint and the bearing span along the travel, which helps a single-block design resist tipping. Inside, the recirculating balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 grade - this grades the balls alone, never the guide assembly - protected by a double-lip seal, while an outer cover keeps larger debris off the seal strip. Keep the ambient at 80 C maximum, peaks to 100 C; next to an oven door or a laser head, this is the one published environmental limit to design around. LRM has no published load or moment figures; we confirm the numbers for this exact set via the 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 manual alignment slide on an optical breadboard, where the 25 mm end offset clears the adjustment hardware and end-stop screws at the rail ends.
Retrofitting smooth linear motion into small workshop jigs and assembly fixtures, where a miniature stainless rail replaces worn sliding ways without redesigning the bed.
Positioning small electronic components at an assembly station, with the long carriage spanning the part pitch for steadier single-rail guidance.
Trim travel before you trim size: across our stocked LRM sets the price spans roughly $66 to $831 on only two rail widths, so nearly all of that spread comes from rail length and carriage count, not the 15 mm gauge. If your machine sees heavy or overhung loads, move up to LSH, whose catalogue carries the per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings LRM lacks. If travel is short but you need crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is the cross-series alternative. Checklist for this SKU: complete set (rail included), 15 mm rail width, long carriage, one block per rail, 140 mm length, S25 end offset, preload A (smoothest running; expect clearance under alternating loads), accuracy H, top-mount rail - and confirm the load rating with us before committing.
Quick checklist
15 mm rail width, 140 mm rail length, S25 end-hole offset, one long carriage, preload A (none), accuracy H, top-mount installation. Fastener torque: 58.8 N.cm for M2 screws into steel (39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium) and 196 N.cm for M3 into steel (127 cast iron, 98 aluminium). Ambient limit is 80 C with 100 C transients. Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease is pre-filled; re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first - at a 200 mm stroke cycling once per second, 100 km passes in about three weeks of continuous running, so distance usually binds before the calendar. Load and moment ratings are not published; we confirm them per model.
You receive the full set: the 140 mm stainless rail plus the long carriage already fitted - there is no pairing code because nothing is ordered separately. The rail mounts from the top with screws through the mounting holes, and the 25 mm offset sets how far in from each end those end holes sit, so drill your bed pattern to match. Handle with care: the ball-retention design helps, but inserting the carriage at an angle or rushing a swap can still drop balls - a dummy rail is the safe way to refit a carriage. Replacement carriages alone are mostly a special order here, since our carriage-only stock is thin.
