The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X145S10BP 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.
LRM12L2X145S10BP is a complete miniature linear guide: one 12 mm stainless-steel rail machined to 145 mm with end fixing holes offset 10 mm from each end (the S10 code), carrying two long-body recirculating-ball carriages. It arrives assembled, pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease, and fixes from above through the top-mount holes.
This exact build pairs light preload (B) with the precision accuracy grade (P), so travel is smooth and repeatable with minimal running drag - a sensible choice where a measurement axis must return to position without fighting its own preload. The carriages ride one common LRM rail profile, ball retention holds the ISO 3290 G10 balls (the grade covers the balls alone, not the assembly) during handling, and a double-lip seal plus outer cover keep fine dust out of the raceways. 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, so we confirm the figures for this exact part number before you commit - ask through the RFQ form.

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 145 mm slide that carries a slide holder or cuvette under a microscope objective, repositioned shot after shot; the precision P grade suits repeatable measurement work on a bench-top instrument.
A light placement head traversing a PCB panel on a prototype line; the twin long carriages give the head a longer bearing span, which helps a head that tips as it reaches for components.
Fine positioning of a low-power laser mount on an optical bench; light preload B keeps the carriage gliding freely while the precision grade holds alignment between adjustments.
Size the axis honestly. When the load is substantial or cantilevered, move up to LSH: that series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against, while LRM does not. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than stroke, LGC is the better cross-series match. For this set, confirm the checklist: complete form, 12 mm rail width, long carriages, two of them, 145 mm rail, preload B (lighter preload runs freer but allows a little more play than C), accuracy P, top-mount fixing. One more note: across our stocked range of about $66 to $831, price tracks rail length and carriage count far more than rail width, so trimming travel is the cheapest saving available.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 145 mm, two long carriages, end-hole offset 10 mm, preload B (light), accuracy P (precision), top-mount rail. Mounting with M3 screws: 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron, 98 N.cm into aluminium, and the seat should be ground or finish-milled. Re-grease with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Ambient limit is 80 C with peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this exact model before ordering - send the RFQ.
It is the full set: the 145 mm rail and both long carriages, assembled and pre-greased. Our stock of LRM12 is the deepest in the range - 924 of 988 stocked sets - so this configuration ships quickly. Plain finish only is held from stock; the black-chrome version is available to order, and spare carriages on their own are mostly a special order because only a handful of carriage-only SKUs are stocked.
