The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X220S10CP 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.
LRM12L1X220S10CP arrives as a matched pair of parts from AirTAC: a 220 mm stainless rail, 12 mm across, closed at each end with 10 mm hole offsets, and one long (L) carriage running on it. This is a top-mount set - the screws go down through the rail into your base plate. The carriage ships pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease.
The P in the code is the precision accuracy grade, a step tighter than H, which earns its keep when carriages must track consistently or when the driven axis feeds a measuring function. Preload C biases the balls for minimal play; expect a touch more rolling resistance than a grade-A set. Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls sit inside the circuit - that ball grade is the only standards claim here, and it covers the balls alone. A double-lip seal and outer cover protect the raceways, and the guide tolerates 80 C ambient with 100 C transients. Load and moment ratings are not published for this series; tell us your duty and we will confirm the figure for this 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 lightweight placement head stepping across component reels; the long carriage damps the tipping that a head arm can introduce.
Fine positioning of an optics carrier where P-grade consistency matters between repeated approaches.
An AOI camera riding a 220 mm rail over a PCB panel, returning to datum between panels.
Rail length, not rail width, drives most of the price spread across our stocked sets, so trimming a few millimetres of travel often beats downsizing the guide. Availability is strongest at size 12 - 924 of our stocked LRM sets are 12 mm - and long carriages are stocked just as deeply as standard ones, so this L-specification carries no availability penalty. If your load is heavy or overhung, move to LSH, which publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage for proper sizing; if the travel is short and you need crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is the better cross-grade. Check: complete set, 12 mm rail, long carriage, one per rail, 220 mm length, preload C, accuracy P, top-mount, and confirm loads with us via RFQ.
Quick checklist
Choose LRM when the priority is a 12 mm envelope, smooth light-duty motion and a compact footprint, accepting that its datasheet publishes no dynamic, static or moment ratings - we confirm capacity for the specific model on request. Choose LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered and you need published per-carriage ratings to size against; it is a larger series with a fuller load table. For short travels where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than travel length, LGC is the third option.
One 12 mm wide, 220 mm long stainless rail with 10 mm end-offset holes and one long carriage fitted to it - a complete set, top-mounted, preload C, precision P grade. M3 screws take 196 N.cm into steel, 127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium; M2 screws 58.8, 39.2 and 29.4 N.cm. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months through the rear lubrication hole, never mixing grease types, and keep the ambient at or below 80 C with peaks to 100 C. Dynamic, static and moment load ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model when you ask.
