The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X320S10CP 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.
LRM12L2X320S10CP is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set: one 320 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, carrying two long recirculating-ball carriages. The code fixes medium preload (C) and precision accuracy (P), with the rail drilled for top-mounting and the first end hole offset 10 mm from the rail end. Rail and carriages arrive assembled, greased and ready to bolt down.
Medium preload stiffens the carriage against play, and the long body spreads contact over a longer ball row - a combination aimed at measuring and light-duty axes where tilt must stay small. The trade-off is a less forgiving fit: prepare the seat by grinding or finish milling before torquing the rail down, with either rail edge usable as the datum face. Inside, the balls are Japanese-made to ISO 3290 G10, a grade governing the balls alone; the double-lip seal and outer cover keep grease in and debris out. AirTAC publishes no load or moment rating for LRM, so we confirm the figures for this exact model before you order - send the RFQ. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C.

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 compact inspection stage carrying a camera or probe across a 320 mm sweep above a wafer tray; the two long blocks keep the head square to the die row at precision grade.
A light gantry head placing 0402 passives on PCB panels; the 12 mm rail fits a slim beam and medium preload limits play at each pick point.
The shorter axis of a small laser-marking module, where a 320 mm stroke covers coupon-sized parts and the stainless rail shrugs off workshop dust behind its double-lip seals.
If the load is substantial or hangs off a cantilever, step up to LSH: that series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, which LRM does not offer. If the travel is short and the priority is crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the better lateral choice. Before committing, work the checklist: form (complete set), 12 mm rail width, long carriage, two blocks, 320 mm rail length, medium preload with its stiffer-but-tighter installation fit, precision P accuracy, top-mount drilling, and a confirmed load rating from us. Since rail length rather than rail width drives the price of stocked sets, trimming the 320 mm down to the travel you truly need is the cheapest way to cut cost.
Quick checklist
This set is a 12 mm wide stainless rail, 320 mm long, with two long carriages, medium preload (C), precision accuracy (P) and top-mount rail fixing; the first end hole sits 10 mm from the rail end. Fasten with M2 or M3 screws at 58.8 or 196 N.cm into steel, 39.2 or 127 N.cm into cast iron, 29.4 or 98 N.cm into aluminium. Carriages arrive pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease; re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, and keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C. AirTAC publishes no load or moment rating for LRM - we confirm it per model before ordering.
Choose LRM when the envelope is tight and the duty is light positioning; choose LSH when the load is heavy or cantilevered, because LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can plug straight into a sizing calculation. LRM offers no published ratings, so we verify capacity for the specific model. This set's medium preload and precision grade suit axes where eliminating play matters more than raw capacity.
