The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X220S10BH 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.
LRM12L1X220S10BH is a complete set built around a 220 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with one long carriage carrying light preload (grade B). The L-specification carriage is longer than the standard block, so more recirculating balls share the work along the rail - useful where an overhung head wants a steadier footing.
Preload B takes out the internal play of the unloaded A grade: motion is firmer and more repeatable, at the cost of a little more running drag. The balls inside are Japanese-made and graded ISO 3290 G10, a grade that applies to the balls alone. AirTAC adds a double-lip seal for oil retention and dust exclusion, plus an outer cover over the screw line. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks to 100 C. No load or moment ratings are published anywhere for LRM, so ask us through the RFQ and we will confirm the figures for this exact code before ordering.

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 production dosing head repeating the same short stroke thousands of times; preload B removes reversal lash from the dispensed volume.
A light pick-and-place head moving between feeder and belt on a small assembly machine, guided on a 12 mm miniature rail.
An astronomy focuser retrofit where the long carriage supports an eyepiece load that tends to tip, with fine, repeatable adjustment.
If the load is substantial or cantilevered, LSH is the series to size against: it publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, none of which exist for LRM. For a short-travel axis where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than compactness, compare LGC.
Match this code to your drawing: complete set, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one carriage, 220 mm rail, preload B (light - expect slightly more drag than grade A in exchange for no lash), accuracy H, top-mount. If a replacement carriage is ever on the cards, it must carry the same pairing code letter as the rail, and carriage-only parts are mostly special orders. Also weigh the money angle: across the LRM range, rail length and carriage count move the price far more than rail width does. Confirm the load rating with us before you order.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm and rail length 220 mm in stainless steel, one long carriage, preload B (light), accuracy H, top-mount. Screw torques: M2 - 58.8 N.cm steel, 39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium; M3 - 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. The ambient temperature ceiling is 80 C with 100 C transient peaks, and the re-grease interval is 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are absent from the LRM catalogue, so we confirm them per model when you enquire.
The set is one 220 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with one long carriage attached and pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. No extra carriage or screws ship with it. Preload B is the light grade: internal play is removed for firmer, more repeatable motion, in exchange for slightly more running drag than the unloaded A grade. AirTAC publishes no load or moment ratings for LRM, so request the confirmed figures for this model through the RFQ.
