The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L1X370S10BPT 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.
Read the trailing T as the defining feature of LRM12L1X370S10BPT: the rail is drilled for bottom-mounting, so the fixing screws enter beneath the 370 mm stainless rail and the top surface stays clear. The set comprises that 12 mm wide rail, one long (L) carriage, light preload (B) and the P precision grade - the tighter of the two accuracy classes offered on LRM.
Because the screws come in from below, the mounting pad must be prepared properly - ground or finish-milled faces with the correct edge distances and chamfers, quoted per size - and the manufacturer warns against striking or dropping the rail, since accuracy and life can suffer without visible damage. The recirculating balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10, a ball-only grade rather than a guide standard, the seal is a double-lip design under an outer cover, and ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C. No load or moment rating is published for LRM; ask us with the RFQ and we will confirm the figure for this code.

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 granite-based measuring stage often fixes its guides from beneath; bottom-mount keeps the working top face uninterrupted for the full 370 mm travel.
Precision P grade suits a handler that indexes component trays to a fixed camera; the long carriage steadies the insert head over the whole stroke.
A light-duty sample carrier on a laboratory microscope stage, where bottom-fixing holes let the stage plate stay flush, clean and unobstructed.
If the axis carries anything heavy or overhung, compare honestly with LSH, which publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can design against; LRM provides no such table, so its capacity is confirmed per model through us instead. Where travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity is the priority, LGC takes that slot. For this SKU confirm: complete set form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, one block, 370 mm rail length, light preload B (a trade of stiffness for easy assembly and free sliding), P precision accuracy, bottom-mount direction, and the load rating checked with us before committing.
Quick checklist
12 mm stainless rail, 370 mm long, one long carriage, preload B (light), accuracy P (precision), bottom-mount (trailing T), 10 mm end-hole offset. Screw torque: M3 - 196 N.cm steel, 127 N.cm cast iron, 98 N.cm aluminium. Maximum ambient temperature 80 C, peaks to 100 C. Re-lubricate every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, never mixing grease types. Load and moment ratings are not published for this series; we confirm them per model on request.
Pick LRM when the envelope is tight and the duty is light, as here - a 12 mm rail and long carriage in a precision grade. Pick LSH when the load is significant or overhung, because LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage you can design against; LRM has no such table, so its capacity is verified with us model by model. For short travel demanding crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is the other alternative to weigh.
