The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X195S10AP 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.
LRM12L1X195S10AP is a complete AirTAC miniature guide: a 12 mm wide stainless rail, 195 mm long, carrying one long carriage and mounted from the top. The P in the code selects the precision accuracy grade rather than the high grade - the choice for machines that measure or position, not simply move. Preload A means the carriage is delivered without applied preload.
Two facts worth knowing before you order. First, across our stocked LRM range the price spread comes almost entirely from rail length and carriage count rather than rail width, so a 195 mm rail like this sits toward the accessible end of the scale. Second, the 80 C ambient ceiling (100 C transient) is the one environmental figure the catalogue publishes, which matters beside heaters or laser heads. Design points carry over as ever: ISO 3290 G10 balls (a grade for the balls alone), double-lip seals, outer cover, ball retention for handling. Load and moment ratings are not published for the series - send the RFQ and we will confirm the figures for this model.

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.

| L | Long carriage. |
| 1X195 | 1 carriage on a 195 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| A | A — no preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |

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.
Drawing a machined bracket past a dial indicator on a quality bench, where precision-grade travel keeps the reading honest over the 195 mm stroke.
Tracing fine adhesive beads on small housings in an assembly cell, with the long carriage supporting the head as it reverses direction at each pass end.
Swapping a small fixture between two machining stations on a rail set flush into the table - practical because long-carriage LRM12 stock runs as deep as standard here, so replacements are quick.
Choose LSH instead when loads are real rather than incidental - LSH gives you published dynamic, static and moment figures per carriage to design against, something LRM cannot offer, so with LRM we confirm ratings per model. Pick LGC when the stroke is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity over ball smoothness. Match-check this part: complete set, 12 mm rail, long carriage, one carriage, 195 mm rail length, preload A (no applied preload - smoothest and simplest to mount, least stiff), precision (P) accuracy, top-mount. Send the RFQ and we will confirm the load rating for this exact code.
Quick checklist
The code fixes: 12 mm stainless rail, 195 mm length, one long carriage, preload A (none), precision accuracy grade, top-mount rail. Supporting data: M2 screws at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Ambient limit 80 C, transients to 100 C; re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this model through the RFQ.
LRM wins on envelope: a 12 mm rail with a slim long carriage fits machines an LSH block will not. LSH wins when loads or overhangs need checking against published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment numbers - LRM publishes none, so every LRM load question goes through us. And if your stroke is short and you want crossed-roller stiffness rather than ball smoothness, compare LGC as well before deciding.
