The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X220S10BPT 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.
LRM12L1X220S10BPT is a complete miniature linear guide set built around a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, cut to 220 mm with the 10 mm end-hole offset. On it rides one long-body recirculating-ball carriage, pre-filled with grease and fitted with a double-lip seal and an outer cover. The trailing T in the code marks a bottom-mount rail: the fixing arrangement suits a frame where you cannot reach the screws from above.
Two details reward attention here. The long carriage spreads its ball contact over a greater length than a standard body, which steadies any tipping component on a single-rail slide. Preload grade B is light, so running drag stays low and the carriage glides easily by hand - the trade-off is a little more compliance than grade C would give. The balls inside are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10, a grade that applies to the balls alone and not to the guide assembly. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with brief peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; tell us your duty and we will confirm the figures for this exact model before you order.

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 long, lightly preloaded carriage under a small camera-sensor inspection fixture gives a smooth, hand-adjustable slide over a 220 mm travel.
The 12 mm rail and long body carry a fine-pitch dispensing head on a short precision stroke inside a compact electronics packaging machine.
Bottom-mount fixing lets the rail sit flush beneath a plate in a laser-marking head, leaving the optical working surface unobstructed.
If your slide carries a substantial or cantilevered load, step up to AirTAC LSH instead: that series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, something LRM does not offer. Where travel is short and the job demands crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the better cross-check. To lock in this set, work the checklist: form (complete set), 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one carriage, 220 mm rail length, light preload B, precision accuracy P, bottom-mount direction - and confirm the load rating with us before committing.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 220 mm with 10 mm end offset, one long carriage, light preload B, precision accuracy P, bottom-mount rail. M2 screws torque to 58.8 N.cm in steel (39.2 in cast iron, 29.4 in aluminium); M3 to 196 N.cm (127 and 98). Keep ambient temperature at or under 80 C and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model on request.
The stainless-steel rail at 220 mm and one long carriage already running on it, greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. There is no second carriage, no rail joint and no dummy rail - the manufacturer recommends a dummy rail for safe carriage fitting, since even the ball-retention design can drop balls if the carriage is angled onto the rail or swapped hastily.
