The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X345S10BHT 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.
This is a complete set, not a spare block: one 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 345 mm long, with two long LRM carriages mounted on it, ordered as a single part number. The long carriage body lengthens the ball path compared with a standard block, and having two of them on one rail resists tipping along the direction of travel.
Preload B (light) and accuracy H make this a pragmatic configuration: smooth running and good travel accuracy without the fitting care that the medium preload demands. Note that the re-grease interval is distance-based - every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first - and 100 km arrives faster than it sounds: a 300 mm stroke cycling twice a second can cover it in well under two months of continuous running, so a fast cycle needs grease on the calendar's shorter clock. The set ships pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease; top up through the rear lubrication hole and never mix lubricant types. The ISO 3290 G10 grade refers to the balls themselves, Japanese made. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, with momentary peaks to 100 C. LRM load and moment ratings are not published by the maker; tell us the application and we confirm the figures for this set before you commit.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LRM catalogue. The catalogue does not publish load or moment ratings, running parallelism, speed limits, or carriage base material for LRM. We will not quote a figure we cannot source — ask us and we will confirm it for your model.

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.
The Y-rail of a compact engraver, where H accuracy holds spot placement over 345 mm and light preload keeps the belt drive efficient; mind the 80 C ambient limit near the laser diode.
A pharmaceutical packaging line moving small vials between trays - plan greasing around the 100 km interval, which a fast cycle can reach within weeks.
A photo-eye or checkweigher carrier on a light packaging machine, where two long blocks on one rail keep the sensor from yawing along the stroke.
Start the selection by ruling the family in or out. Where the load is significant or cantilevered, LSH is the series to quote: it publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, none of which exist for LRM. Where travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity wins, choose LGC. Within LRM, match every code segment to the machine: a complete set here, 12 mm rail width, two long carriages on 345 mm of rail, light preload B (accept the modest rigidity penalty in exchange for easy installation), accuracy H, top-mount fixing, and finally confirm the load rating with us - we confirm it per model rather than from a table.
Quick checklist
A 12 mm wide, 345 mm long rail with two long carriages, light preload B, accuracy H, top-mount mounting. Screw torque: M2 screws 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 screws 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient limit 80 C with 100 C momentary peaks. Grease interval: every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the values for this set through the RFQ.
Included: the 345 mm rail and two long carriages as one assembled set - a complete guide, not a spare block. Not applicable here: a pairing code (only carriage-only BK codes carry one) and a black-chrome finish, which is available to order but not part of this plain set. Replacement carriages are effectively a special-order item, since carriage-only parts are only thinly represented.
