The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X295S10BHT 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 trailing T in LRM12L2X295S10BHT is the whole story of this SKU: it is a bottom-mount LRM12 set, so the screws pass through the rail into the mounting base from underneath, leaving the top surface clean for covers, guards or workpiece clamps. You get a 295 mm stainless rail, 12 mm wide, with two long carriages, light preload B and high accuracy H.
Handle this set with care before it is bolted down: the ball-retention design helps, but presenting a carriage onto the rail at an angle or swapping it hastily can still drop balls - a dummy rail makes safe carriage fitting far easier - and on an inclined rail a free carriage can slide off under its own weight, so hold it. Ball grade is ISO 3290 G10, Japanese made, applying to the balls in the carriages; the assembly carries no separate accuracy standard. The double-lip seal and outer cover keep the raceway clean, and ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C with peaks no higher than 100 C. Because two carriages share one rail, set the datum face on the same side for both to get the best running accuracy. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; send the RFQ and we confirm the figures for this exact configuration.

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 measuring jig built on a thin baseplate where the top face must stay unbroken for the workpiece: bottom-mount screwing hides the fasteners, and the two long carriages hold a gauge head square along the stroke.
A laboratory fixture whose carriage is replaced on site during service visits. Plan the swap with a dummy rail, work slowly to the marked orientation, and wipe and re-grease before return to service.
A fine-adjustment slide fitted beneath a small machine table, where reach from above is impossible and the bottom-mount rail is the only practical way to bolt the guide down.
If the load is heavy or overhung, this is the wrong series to size against - step up to LSH, which publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings; LRM publishes none of them. For short travel demanding crossed-roller rigidity, go across to LGC. For this bottom-mount set, confirm: complete set form, 12 mm rail, long carriage, two per rail, 295 mm length, preload B (light interference - a little more drag than A, less than C), accuracy H, bottom-mount screwing, and a ground or finish-milled mounting surface to achieve the rated travel accuracy. Then confirm the load rating with us for this model before ordering.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 295 mm, two long carriages, light preload (B), high accuracy (H), bottom-mount rail (the trailing T in the code). M3 screw torque: 196 N.cm into steel, 127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium; M2 screws: 58.8 / 39.2 / 29.4 N.cm. Ambient temperature limit 80 C, transient peaks 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model via RFQ.
Do not strike or drop the rail - accuracy and life can suffer with no visible damage. Fit carriages slowly and square to the rail; the ball retainer helps but a hurried or angled fit can still drop balls, so a dummy rail is worth having. Do not dismantle the carriages or separate them from the rail unless necessary. Bolt to a ground or finish-milled surface, orient both carriages' datum to the same side, and never exceed 80 C ambient. Full load data for this model comes with the RFQ.
