The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X220S10CPT 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.
LRM12L1X220S10CPT is a complete AirTAC miniature guide built around a 12 mm stainless rail, 220 mm long, with a single long-series carriage pre-mounted at the factory. The T suffix sets bottom-mount fixing: the fasteners pass up through the rail, so it bolts to the underside of a plate or the inside of a channel. One set, greased and ready to run.
Two choices define this SKU. Bottom-mounting hides the fixing screws and suits sealed or snag-prone frames where a proud screw head would catch. Precision accuracy grade P gives tighter control of travel than H - useful when the carriage carries anything that measures. Inside, Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls (a grade for the balls themselves, not for the assembly) run in a circuit guarded by a double-lip seal and an outer cover strip. The manufacturer caps ambient use at 80 C, peaking to 100 C. Because LRM carries no published load or moment ratings, we verify the numbers for this exact configuration through the RFQ route before you commit.

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.

With only one carriage, the rail carries all the guidance, so the mounting surface does the rest: grind or finish-mill the seat, and if you later add a second carriage, keep the datum edge on the same side for both. Heavier or overhung duties belong on LSH, where dynamic, static and moment ratings are published per carriage; short, stiff crosses belong on LGC with its rollers. Order checklist for this code: complete set, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one block, 220 mm rail, medium preload C, P accuracy, bottom-mount. Confirm the load rating with us before finalising - never assume it from a similar series.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 220 mm with 10 mm end offsets, one long carriage, preload C (medium), accuracy P (precision), bottom-mount. M3 screws torque to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 in cast iron, 98 in aluminium; M2 figures are 58.8, 39.2 and 29.4 N.cm. Ambient limit is 80 C with 100 C transients, and lubrication is due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, quantity varying per model. Dynamic load, static load, moment ratings, running parallelism and speed limits are not published for LRM - request confirmation from us for this model.
The rail profile is the same; only the fixing changes. The trailing T in this code means screws enter from below through the rail, which keeps the visible surface clean and suits channels or under-plate fixing, whereas a top-mount set is screwed down from above. Either side of the rail can serve as the datum face. Whichever you choose, the seat must be ground or finish-milled, and the rail should never be struck or dropped - invisible dents still cost accuracy and life.
