The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X245S10BHT 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 AirTAC LRM12L1X245S10BHT is a complete miniature linear guide set. In the box: one 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 245 mm long, with a single long (L) recirculating-ball carriage riding on it. The trailing T in the code means the rail is drilled for bottom-mount fixing - the screws pass up through the base - so the top face of the rail stays clear for the moving table. The carriage arrives pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease.
The long carriage is the defining feature here: it spreads contact over more balls and stretches the bearing span, which helps any light cantilever or small vertical mast resist tipping. Inside it run Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls - that grade applies to the balls alone, not to the assembly - held by a ball-retention design, sealed by a double-lip wiper and shielded by an outer cover that hides the screw holes and keeps debris off the seal strip. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C. Load and moment figures are not published for LRM; they are confirmed model by model, so send us the RFQ and we will verify the numbers for your installation 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 bottom-fixed 12 mm rail under a small camera or sensor plate leaves the top surface unbroken for the fixture plate, and the 245 mm rail gives a compact scan stroke for glass or film samples.
A long carriage under a small suction head gives the tipping moment a longer bearing span, so a light Z-axis gantry on a dispenser or feeder bench tracks cleanly over its 245 mm rail.
A light detector or mirror holder glides on the stainless rail; with grade H accuracy and a light preload the motion is smooth, and the 80 C ambient limit sits comfortably above most lab conditions.
Pick LRM when a tight envelope and smooth running matter more than raw capacity. If your load is substantial or heavily cantilevered, step up to LSH instead - that series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against, something LRM does not offer. Where the stroke is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the cross-over choice. Before committing, run the checklist: complete set form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one carriage, 245 mm rail, preload B (light - freer running and an easier fit, at the cost of stiffness under reversing loads), accuracy grade H, bottom-mount mounting direction. Because LRM load ratings are confirmed per model, talk to us first.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 245 mm, one long carriage, preload B (light), accuracy grade H, bottom-mount rail fixing. Screw torques: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 N.cm into cast iron, 29.4 N.cm into aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm the figures for this exact model before you order.
If the duty involves real loads, cantilevers or moments, LSH is the safer pick because its catalogue publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against. LRM has no published load table at all - its strengths are the small 12 mm envelope, smooth light-duty motion and grade H accuracy. If you cannot decide, send the RFQ with the load sketch and we will confirm whether this model carries the duty or point you to LSH.
