The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X120S10APT is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriages. 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.
LRM12L2X120S10APT is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, cut to 120 mm, carrying two long recirculating-ball carriages. This build is precision accuracy grade P, preload grade A (no preload), and the mounting holes are tapped for bottom-mount fixing, so the screws enter from underneath the rail. The end-hole offset is 10 mm. The set arrives assembled and factory-greased, ready to bolt down.
Precision grade P is the tighter of the two LRM grades, which matters when the carriage must hold an optical or measuring axis level along the stroke. Bottom-mount holes suit a frame whose top face cannot be drilled, keeping the working deck uninterrupted. Inside each block, ISO 3290 G10 Japanese steel balls run in the raceways (the grade applies to the balls alone), held by a ball-retention feature that limits dropped balls during handling - though a carriage offered at an angle or swapped hastily can still shed some. A double-lip seal scrapes oil and excludes dust, and an outer cover shields the seal strip from larger debris. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with brief peaks to 100 C. Load and moment figures are not published for LRM; we confirm the rating for your exact model - send us the RFQ.

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.
Two long carriages under a benchtop microscope stage hold the imaging axis level across a 120 mm stroke at precision grade, keeping focus drift out of die-inspection images.
A laboratory liquid-handler slides its pipetting head along this 12 mm rail between microplate positions, where the low profile fits inside a crowded deck.
An optics-table slider carrying a mirror mount; precision grade P keeps the reflected beam steady as the carriage traverses.
Where the duty turns substantial or cantilevered, step up to AirTAC LSH: it publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, so you can size against real numbers, which LRM does not provide. When the stroke is short and the priority is crossed-roller rigidity rather than ball smoothness, LGC is the cross-over pick. Before ordering, tick every element of this code: complete set form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, two blocks, 120 mm rail length, preload A (none), precision grade P, bottom-mount direction, 10 mm end offset - and confirm the load rating with us by RFQ before committing.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 120 mm; two long carriages; preload A (none); accuracy P (precision); bottom-mount holes; 10 mm end offset. Screw torque: M2 - 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 - 196 N.cm into steel, 127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium. Ambient limit 80 C, peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the figures for this exact model on request.
One stainless-steel rail with two long carriages already fitted - a complete set, not a bare carriage. Mounting surfaces should be ground or finish-milled to reach the travel accuracy the grade promises; either rail side can serve as the datum, and with two blocks, keep the datum on the same side for both. Delivery terms are arranged through our sales team - send the RFQ.
