The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X370S10AP 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 370 mm, 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail with one long recirculating-ball carriage, ordered as LRM12L1X370S10AP. The P in the code selects precision accuracy - the tighter running grade in the LRM range - while S10 sets the 10 mm end-hole offset and the absence of a trailing T means the rail is fixed from the top. The carriage arrives pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease, so the set is ready to bolt down as received.
Precision grade is what separates this SKU from its H-accuracy sibling: on a ground or finish-milled seat, the tighter tolerances show up as straighter, more repeatable travel over the full 370 mm, which matters when a probe, camera or dispense tip must return to the same coordinates. The long carriage carries its rolling elements over a longer footprint, which resists any tendency of the moving table to tip. Balls are ISO 3290 G10 grade, Japanese-made, held captive by the retainer so the block can be handled without losing elements; the double-lip seal keeps grease in and dust out beneath an outer cover. Ambient temperature is limited to 80 C with transients to 100 C. AirTAC lists no load or moment rating for LRM - we confirm the numbers for this exact model before you order, so include it in your RFQ.

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.
A 370 mm slide carrying a mirror or sensor head on an optical bench, where precision grade P keeps the beam position repeatable over the whole stroke.
Die and component handling stages inside compact semiconductor assembly equipment, where a 12 mm miniature rail fits a crowded chassis without redesign.
A light measurement fixture on a QC bench, built around one long carriage so the probe bracket stays level along its entire travel.
Rail length, not rail width, drives the price across this range - stocked sets span roughly $66 to $831 over just two widths, so trimming the 370 mm travel is the first lever on cost. Sizing-wise, LRM capacity is confirmed per model rather than tabulated; where you need published dynamic, static and moment ratings to calculate against, LSH is the step up for heavier or cantilevered duties, and LGC covers short travels that want crossed-roller rigidity. Order checklist: complete set, 12 mm rail, long carriage, one block, 370 mm length, preload A for freest motion, precision accuracy P, top-mount direction, and the per-model load rating confirmed with us before commitment.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 370 mm, one long carriage, preload grade A (none), accuracy grade P (precision), top-mount fixing with M3 screws torqued to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron or 98 N.cm in aluminium. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C with transients to 100 C, and re-greasing with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 is due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Basic dynamic and static load ratings, moment ratings and running parallelism are not published for LRM - we confirm the load figure for this model on request.
You receive one matched set: a 370 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with a single long carriage factory-fitted and pre-greased. There is no second carriage, no rail joiner, no mounting screws and no black-chrome finish in this code - our stock is plain finish only, with black chrome available to order. The carriage carries a double-lip seal and outer cover, and the balls are captive in the retainer, but the manufacturer still warns that fitting or removing a block at an angle can drop balls, so keep it on the rail or work over a dummy rail if you must take it off.
