The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X120S10BP 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.
The LRM12L2X120S10BP is a complete miniature linear guide set: one 120 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, carrying two long (L) recirculating-ball carriages. The end mounting holes sit 10 mm in from each rail end, the carriages run the light-preload B grade and the accuracy is H (high). You receive the rail and both carriages as one matched assembly, ready to bolt down from above.
The long carriage spreads its ball complement over a longer footprint, which lengthens the bearing span and steadies any component that wants to tip on top of it. Inside, the balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 grade - a ball-quality grade, not a standard for the guide assembly - held by a ball-retention design so they stay put during handling. A double-lip seal and an outer cover protect the raceways, and the ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with peaks no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the figures for this exact model before you order, so 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 on a 120 mm rail give a small camera stage a stable platform over a short stroke, and grade H accuracy keeps each image position repeatable.
A long carriage spreads the pick head load over more balls, which steadies the nozzle as it lifts and places small components tray to board.
Light preload B keeps fine adjustments smooth by hand, while the stainless-steel rail shrugs off corrosion on a cleanroom bench.
LRM12 is the depth of this range: 924 of the 988 stocked sets are size 12, so a layout built around this rail width ships fastest. If the load is substantial or cantilevered, step up to LSH, which publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against - LRM publishes none. If the travel is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity, look across at LGC instead. Before committing, check the form (this is a complete set, not a carriage), rail width 12, carriage length L long, count 2, rail length 120, preload B light (freer-running, but slightly less firm under a tipping moment), accuracy H, top-mount direction, and confirm the load rating with us.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 120 mm; two long carriages; preload B (light); accuracy grade H; top-mount fixing with M3 screws torqued to 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron and 98 N.cm into aluminium. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C, and re-greasing is due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months starting from the factory charge of Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this exact model before you order, via the RFQ.
Pick LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered: it publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against. LRM publishes none of these, so its capacity is confirmed per model - we do that for you before ordering. Pick LGC when the travel is short and you need crossed-roller rigidity. Stay with this LRM12 set when the envelope is tight and smooth light-duty motion matters: 12 mm rail, 120 mm long, two long carriages, light preload, high accuracy.
