The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X320S10AHT 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.
LRM12L2X320S10AHT is a bottom-mount miniature guide set: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail cut to 320 mm with 10 mm end-hole offsets, carrying two long recirculating-ball carriages on accuracy grade H. The T suffix puts the fixing holes in the rail base so screws enter from below - useful where the top face must stay uninterrupted or the screws are simply unreachable once assembled.
With no preload (grade A), the carriages glide with minimal drag, which suits manually pushed stages and gently driven mechanisms rather than preloaded, high-stiffness axes. High accuracy H is the series' standard precision grade, the recirculating balls are Japanese-made to ISO 3290 G10 for roundness, the double-lip seal manages oil retention and dust exclusion, and the outer cover screens the seal strip from larger debris. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C with peaks to 100 C. There is no published load or moment rating for LRM - send the RFQ with your load case and we confirm the figures for this 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 microscope's part stage pushed by hand glides freely with no preload, and high accuracy H keeps the travel honest over the 320 mm axis.
A camera slider under a benchtop vision system gains smooth, drag-free motion from preload A while the bottom-mount rail hides inside the frame.
A rig presenting components to a probe on a 320 mm stroke uses two long carriages to keep the pallet level as it advances and retracts.
A 100 km re-grease interval sounds generous until you do the arithmetic: a 200 mm stroke cycling once per second covers 100 km in roughly three weeks of continuous running, so distance rather than the calendar sets the service rhythm on a busy 320 mm axis. If the load is substantial or cantilevered, step up to LSH, whose per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings are published and can be sized against - the very numbers LRM withholds. If the travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity matters more than glide, look across at LGC. Before ordering, fix down the whole spec: set form (complete), 12 mm rail width, two long carriages, 320 mm rail length, preload A none, accuracy H high, bottom-mount direction - then let us confirm the load rating for this exact model.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 320 mm, two long carriages, 10 mm end-hole offset, preload A (none), accuracy H (high), bottom-mount fixing. Catalogue screw torques: M2 - 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 - 196, 127 and 98 N.cm for the same materials. Ambient temperature is capped at 80 C with peaks of 100 C, and re-greasing with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 falls due 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 model when you enquire.
Yes - the code is a complete set: one 320 mm stainless rail with two long carriages fitted and pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease. On an inclined rail a carriage can slide off under its own weight, so hold it during handling, and do not strike the rail, since accuracy can suffer with no visible damage. If you later need a spare carriage, note that carriage-only SKUs are thin in the range and most become a special order - the ball-retention design helps, but a dummy rail is still the safe way to swap a block.
