The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X120S10BPT 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.
LRM12L2X120S10BPT is a complete miniature linear guide set: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 120 mm in length, running two long recirculating-ball carriages, with light preload grade B, precision accuracy grade P and mounting holes positioned for bottom-mount fixing on a 10 mm end offset. Rail and carriages come fitted and pre-greased as one unit.
This combination puts light preload together with the tighter precision grade - play is taken up for repeatable travel, and the tighter P grade suits fixtures where the measured or machined result depends on how steadily the carriage tracks. Bottom-mount holes let you fasten from beneath a sealed or finished surface. Servicing is governed by distance: re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, and a 200 mm stroke cycling once per second covers 100 km in roughly three weeks of continuous running, so the distance binds before the calendar does. The ISO 3290 G10 rating refers to the Japanese-made balls inside the recirculation, not to the assembly as a whole, and the double-lip seal with outer cover keeps the grease where it belongs. Ambient stays at or below 80 C, peaking at 100 C. Load and moment values are not published for LRM - we confirm the figure for this model through 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.
A benchtop resin printer's build-plate lift uses the bottom-mount holes so the frame's top surface stays uninterrupted, while light preload keeps plate motion repeatable.
A light slider positions a divert gate on a small-parts packaging line, cycling fast enough that the 100 km grease interval, not the calendar, sets the service schedule.
A metrology fixture slides a dial gauge along a machined face; precision grade P supports a consistent trace along the part.
Preload is the installation trade-off here: C grade is the rigid but stiffer, less forgiving choice, A runs completely free, and this B grade splits the difference with a small, controlled take-up of clearance. For substantial or cantilevered loads, step up to AirTAC LSH, which publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage - the sizing numbers LRM does not offer. For short strokes where crossed-roller rigidity beats ball smoothness, LGC is the alternative. Match checklist: complete set, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, two blocks, 120 mm rail, preload B, precision grade P, bottom-mount holes, and confirm the load rating with us through the RFQ before you commit.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 120 mm; two long carriages; preload B (light); accuracy P (precision); bottom-mount holes. Screw torques: M2 - 58.8 N.cm steel, 39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium; M3 - 196 N.cm steel, 127 cast iron, 98 aluminium. Ambient ceiling 80 C, brief peaks 100 C. Re-grease after 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Catalogue mounting-surface rows run Q1 2-5 mm, Q2 1.2-3.2 mm, H1 1.5-3.5 mm and R max 0.2-0.5 mm, listed per size, so ask which row fits size 12. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM and are confirmed per model.
Yes - one stainless-steel rail with both long carriages fitted and factory-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease; nothing else is needed to run it. Wipe off the rust-preventive oil before first use and apply lubricant. Mount on a ground or finish-milled surface, using the same rail side as datum for both carriages. If you ever need a bare replacement carriage, note that carriage-only items are few and usually a special order, so plan.
