Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X170S10CP
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X170S10CP 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.

About the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X170S10CP
The P at the end of LRM12L2X170S10CP marks precision accuracy, the tighter of the two grades offered on LRM rails of this length. In the box: one 170 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, end holes offset 10 mm, and two long recirculating-ball carriages fitted, medium-preloaded and ready to bolt down from the top.
Precision grade earns its keep when carriage position is part of the measurement - microscope stages, camera scanners, calibration rigs. It only shows if the seats are ground or finish-milled, and with two carriages sharing the rail the datum edge should be on the same side for both. The running elements are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 balls - a grade for the balls only, not for the assembly - behind double-lip seals and an outer cover that shields the seal strip from larger debris. Ambient must not exceed 80 C, briefly 100 C. No load or moment ratings are published for LRM; we confirm the figures for this exact model via the RFQ before you order.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X170S10CP Is Used
Measuring microscope stage
Under a toolmaker's microscope, grade P running over 170 mm keeps part positioning repeatable between measurements, and the long carriages limit nodding at the ends of travel.
Sensor calibration rig
A benchtop calibration rig sweeping a pressure or proximity sensor against a reference gains a play-free, stiff feed from preload C - provided the mounting seat is ground or finish-milled to match the grade.
Fiber alignment stage
Aligning an optical fiber or waveguide to a photonic chip demands straight, repeatable translation; precision accuracy and the twin long blocks keep the coupling axis steady through the 170 mm stroke.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X170S10CP the Right Guide?
Price does not scale with size on this range: stocked sets span roughly $66 to $831 over just two rail widths, so a 170 mm twin-carriage set sits toward the shorter end of that spread. If your sizing calculation needs published numbers, LSH lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage - LRM does not, and we confirm load figures per model instead. For a short stroke where crossed-roller rigidity beats travel length, LGC is the alternative series. Match on form (set with two long carriages), rail width 12 mm, rail length 170 mm, preload C (stiffer, less tolerant of seat errors), accuracy P and top-mount holes - then confirm the load rating with us before committing.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Complete set, carriage only, or rail only?
- ✓ Load and moment confirmed with us
- ✓ Travel length and mounting space
- ✓ Accuracy grade and preload
- ✓ Mounting surface ground or finish-milled
- ✓ Pairing code, if replacing a part
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled.
- check Torque the rail screws per the recommended figures, in sequence.
- check Keep the mounting corner radius inside the stated R maximum.
- check Do not angle the carriage onto the rail; balls can drop out.
- check Drive the supplied bolt caps into the mounting holes.
- check Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3–6 months.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X170S10CP FAQ
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 170 mm, two long carriages, top-mount fixing, medium preload (C) and precision accuracy (P). Install on a ground or finish-milled seat and follow the catalogue screw torques - M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel or M3 at 196 N.cm. Keep ambient at or below 80 C (peaks to 100 C) and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this exact model with your enquiry.
Yes - this SKU is the complete assembly, rail and both long carriages supplied together. It is not a block-only order. If a carriage is damaged later, note that carriage-only LRM codes carry a pairing letter matching them to their rail, and our carriage-only stock is thin, so most single-block replacements are a special order. Fit the new carriage carefully or on a dummy rail; the ball retainer helps, but angled or hasty fitting can still drop balls.
