The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X195S10CP 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.
This is the precision-grade version of a light-duty positioning set: one 195 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with a single long recirculating-ball carriage riding it, everything fixed from above. The P in the code marks accuracy grade P - precision - one step tighter than the H grade, chosen when the carriage must track straighter along the 195 mm stroke.
Preload C keeps the long block firmly loaded on the raceway, so measurement repeatability does not drift with play. Inside, Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls - graded for the balls themselves, not the assembly - run under a double-lip seal with an outer cover over the fixings. The manufacturer publishes no load or moment figures for LRM, which rarely bothers buyers at this scale: the guide is chosen for size, smoothness and precision, and we confirm the load rating for this exact model before ordering. One planning note on cost: across our stocked LRM sets the price spread from about $66 to $831 comes almost entirely from rail length and carriage count, not rail width - so a 195 mm rail sits in the affordable middle of that range, and trimming travel trims the invoice.

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.
An RF probe fixture needs the carriage to return to the same position every cycle. Precision P accuracy plus preload C gives repeatable contact, and the 100 km re-grease interval is the binding schedule: a 200 mm stroke cycling once a second covers it in roughly three weeks of continuous running.
A compact autosampler arm traversing 195 mm between vial rack and injection port runs quietly on a 12 mm rail. Carriages ship pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2; top up through the rear lubrication hole - inject from one side while stroking the carriage, then check for an even film.
Measuring a lens element edge to edge needs the sensor to track straight across the part. Grade P travel accuracy on a ground mounting surface, with the datum face chosen on either side of the rail, supports that measurement.
Start by deciding what you can afford to leave unpublished: LRM has no catalogue load, moment or parallelism figures, so anything stiffness-critical should move to AirTAC LSH, whose per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings let you verify the design directly. Short travels that need crossed-roller rigidity belong on LGC. For this SKU, tick off the list: complete set with rail, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one block, 195 mm rail length, medium preload C - firmer running, but it demands accurately machined seats - precision accuracy P, top-mount fixing, and a confirmed load rating from us before the order goes in.
Quick checklist
Specified: 12 mm rail width; 195 mm rail length with 10 mm end-hole offset; one long carriage; medium preload grade C; precision accuracy grade P; top-mount rail fixing. Screw torque for M3 is 196 N.cm into steel, 127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium (M2: 58.8 / 39.2 / 29.4 N.cm). Ambient temperature limit 80 C, transient peaks 100 C. Lubricate every 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months, never mixing lubricant types. Missing by design: load and moment ratings, running parallelism and speed limits - none are published for LRM, and we confirm the load figure per model on request.
You receive the full set: a 195 mm stainless-steel rail and one long precision-grade carriage mounted on it, pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. Not included: a second carriage, a second rail, black chrome finish (we stock plain only) and any published load figure. If you ever need a spare carriage, note that we carry only a handful of carriage-only SKUs, so most spares are a special order - and handle the carriage carefully during any swap, since angled insertion can still drop balls despite the retention design.
