The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X245S10AHT 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 LRM12L2X245S10AHT is a complete set: a 245 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with two long recirculating-ball carriages running on it. Preload grade A means the carriages run free of preload, and accuracy grade H is the high grade. The trailing T sets bottom-mount fixing, so the screws pass up from below - useful where the top face of the rail is covered by the travelling table.
With no preload, drag is at its lowest and travel feels lightest, which suits a hand-positioned or lightly driven slide; the trade is a little more play under load. Carriages share one rail profile across the LRM series, so a long and a standard carriage can run on the same rail. The balls inside are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 grade - a grade for the balls alone. Double-lip seals hold grease in and keep dust out; the outer cover hides the screws and protects the seal strip; ball retention limits dropped balls during handling, though a dummy rail is wise for anyone planning repeated carriage swaps, and only a handful of carriage-only SKUs are listed. Keep ambient temperature at or under 80 C, with transient peaks no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - send an RFQ and we will confirm the figures for this set.

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 small fixture sliding a probe board over board-to-board connectors on an in-circuit test bench; free-running long carriages let an operator position the probe by hand without stick-slip.
A bottom-mounted rail under an inspection camera sled in a production cell: the screws stay hidden beneath the rail, keeping the optical path and the guarding above clean.
A label applicator head riding a 245 mm rail on a packaging bench, where low drag from the unloaded preload grade helps a light belt-driven slide track smoothly.
When the load is heavy or overhung, move up to LSH, which publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage so you can calculate margins - LRM publishes none. When travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity matters, LGC is the cross-over choice. Before ordering, tick every box: complete set, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, two carriages, 245 mm rail length, preload A (free-running), accuracy H, bottom-mount rail. If you are matching a spare carriage instead, work from the pairing code. Nearly every LRM set listed is size 12, which is where the choice of lengths and grades is deepest. Confirm the load rating with us before you commit - we check it against your duty.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 245 mm; two long carriages; preload A, meaning none; accuracy H, the high grade; rail mounts from below through hidden screws. Torque M3 screws to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron and 98 N.cm in aluminium, and grind or finish-mill the mounting face first. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with peaks to 100 C; 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 per model.
Yes - this code is a complete set: one 245 mm stainless-steel rail with two long carriages fitted, each pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease. Nothing else is needed for a single-rail slide. Carriage-only versions exist in the LRM range but are thinly listed; if you need just a replacement carriage, match its pairing code to the rail and ask us to source it.
