The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X345S10CPT 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.
LRM12L2X345S10CPT is a complete set, not a spare part: one 12 mm stainless-steel rail, cut to 345 mm, carrying two long recirculating-ball carriages. The specification matches the top-mount version of the same code - medium preload, precision P accuracy, 10 mm end-hole offset - with one decisive difference: the trailing T calls for bottom-mounting, so the rail fixing holes are reached from underneath.
Bottom-mounting earns its place on machines where the top face is already occupied, such as a beam whose upper surface carries the product or a guide recessed into a channel. Either side of the rail can serve as the datum face, and with two carriages on one rail you should place the datum on the same side for both to hold running accuracy. Ball retention keeps the ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls (a ball grade, not an assembly standard) from falling out during handling, though fitting the carriage at an angle can still drop one or two, so take it slowly. A double-lip seal scrapes oil and excludes dust while the outer cover shields the seal strip from larger debris. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; name this model on the RFQ and we confirm them.

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 fluid-dispensing gantry whose top face carries the needle plate can still take precision travel: bottom-mount fixing puts the guide under the beam, out of the way of splashes and product.
Flying-probe style test rigs move light probe heads over populated boards; the precision P grade and preload-C stiffness keep the probe contact points stable between cycles.
A light pick-and-place head handling SMT components travels smoothly on the long carriages, whose extended bearing span helps when the head overhangs the rail edge.
If the guide will see substantial or overhung loads, step across to LSH, whose catalogue carries per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings that LRM simply does not publish. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity matters more than stroke, LGC is the alternative worth comparing. Match the code to the job before ordering: set form, 12 mm rail, long carriage, two blocks, 345 mm rail length, C medium preload, P precision grade, bottom-mount rail for under-surface fixing - and confirm the load rating with us.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 345 mm, two long carriages, medium C preload, precision P accuracy and a bottom-mount rail with a 10 mm end-hole offset. Mount into a ground or finish-milled surface; M3 screws take 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron and 98 N.cm in aluminium. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C with peaks to 100 C. Carriages ship pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 and need re-greasing every 100 km or 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model.
The complete set: one 345 mm stainless rail drilled for bottom-mounting plus the two long carriages already fitted to it, pre-greased and protected by rust-preventive oil that you wipe off before first use. No separate rail or carriage purchase is needed. If you ever need a replacement carriage alone, note that only a handful of carriage-only SKUs sit in our stock, so most are ordered specially - and the pairing code on the original must match.
