The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X320S10AH 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 complete set pairs a 320 mm stainless steel rail, 12 mm across, with a single long-body ball carriage, giving one guided axis in a compact envelope. The 10 mm end offset places the first screw hole close to the rail end, useful on tightly packed base plates. Screws enter from the top, and the carriage is delivered greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2.
Worth knowing before you finalize the layout: across the LRM sets AirTAC lists, price tracks rail length far more than rail width, so trimming travel before upsizing is where the savings sit. LRM12 is also the configuration most widely listed in the series, which keeps sourcing straightforward for a design laid out around a 12 mm rail. Inside, the balls are Japanese ISO 3290 G10 grade - a ball specification, not a standard the assembled guide is built to - running behind a double-lip seal under an outer cover. No load or moment rating is published for LRM; we confirm it for this 320 mm set when you enquire. Keep the surroundings under 80 C.

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.
Sliding a small tray or substrate carrier between an inspection point and a load position inside compact equipment, at room temperature away from any hot zone.
Carrying a compact machine-vision camera along a PCB inspection line, where smooth low-vibration travel keeps images sharp.
A light probe-head traverse on a laboratory measurement station, sized small so the instrument footprint stays tight.
Confirm you want the set form - rail plus one long carriage, not a loose carriage - then check rail width 12 mm, rail length 320 mm, one carriage, no preload, high accuracy H and top-mount fixing against your drawing. Preload A runs freest; if positioning play matters, B or C tighten it but raise drag and demand a flatter mounting face. When the load is heavy or cantilevered, move up to LSH, which publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that LRM lacks; for short-travel jobs needing crossed-roller stiffness, look at LGC. Either way, ask us to confirm the load rating for this exact model before ordering.
Quick checklist
A stainless rail 12 mm wide and 320 mm long, one long carriage, no preload, accuracy grade H and screws fitted from the top with a 10 mm end offset. Fixing torque is 58.8 N.cm for M2 and 196 N.cm for M3 screws into steel, lower into cast iron or aluminium. Regrease after every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, and never let ambient temperature pass 80 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM, so we confirm them for this model when you enquire.
Choose LSH when load, moment or cantilever effects dominate, because LSH datasheets publish basic dynamic, static and allowable moment figures you can size directly against - LRM publishes none of these. Stay with LRM, like this 320 mm set, when the priority is a small, light, smooth guide for light-duty positioning. If travel is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the third option. Send the duty cycle and we will help you place it.
