The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X120S10AP is a miniature linear guide on a 12 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.
LRM12L1X120S10AP is the precision-grade version of this 120 mm miniature guide set: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail with a 10 mm end-hole offset, one long carriage, no preload (grade A), and accuracy grade P. Where the H grade keeps a positioning axis accurate and repeatable, P tightens the tolerances for work that measures as well as moves.
The P grade earns its keep only on a well-prepared base: mounting surfaces must be ground or finish-milled for the rated travel accuracy to be realised, and with more than one carriage on a rail the datum should sit on the same side of each one. Inside the carriage, ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls run in the raceways, a double-lip seal scrapes oil and excludes dust, and an outer cover hides the screws and shields the seal strip. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; ask us by RFQ and we confirm them for this exact configuration.

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.
A bench fixture aligning fibre-optic components moves a sensor along a single axis, and the P grade supports the fine positioning the alignment demands.
A socket or probe test station indexing over short runs uses the precision travel, with the stainless rail and sealed carriage suiting a clean electronics environment.
A small laser marking head riding a single axis gets smooth, repeatable motion - but note the 80 C ambient limit if exhaust heat from the head builds up near the rail.
Precision grade does not change the load picture: LRM publishes no dynamic, static or moment ratings, so this set is chosen for envelope, smoothness and accuracy, with capacity confirmed per model before ordering. If your application carries a substantial or cantilevered load, size it in the LSH series, which publishes those ratings per carriage; if travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity is the priority, LGC is the alternative. It also pays to know that 12 mm is the heart of this range - availability is deepest there - so this width is the practical choice. For this code, check: complete set, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one block, 120 mm rail, preload A (free-running, where light preload B would add stiffness at the cost of drag), accuracy P, top-mount mounting, and the load case confirmed by RFQ.
Quick checklist
12 mm wide stainless rail, 120 mm long, 10 mm end-hole offset; one long carriage; preload A (none); accuracy P; top-mount rail. Screw torque into the mounting surface: M2 at 58.8 N.cm steel, 39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Re-grease through the rear lubrication hole every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months; ambient limit 80 C, peaks to 100 C. One thing is deliberately absent: load and moment ratings. LRM publishes none, so we confirm them for this model before you order.
No. Accuracy grade affects travel precision, not capacity, and LRM publishes no load or moment ratings at any grade - H or P - so capacity is confirmed per model with us before ordering. If you need ratings you can calculate against, the larger LSH series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment figures; for short travel where crossed-roller rigidity is the priority, compare LGC. What P does give you is tighter travel tolerances, provided the mounting surface is ground or finish-milled.
