The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X395S10APT 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 LRM12L2X395S10APT is a precision-grade miniature guide set for designs that mount the rail from below: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 395 mm long, running two long carriages. Counterbored fixing holes open underneath, leaving an uninterrupted top deck where a worktable, sensor bar or cable duct can sit. End holes are offset 10 mm (S10).
Accuracy here is P, so the surface beneath the rail deserves equal care - the seat should be ground or finish-milled, and the catalogue's mounting-surface specifications (corner radii, step heights and depth allowances) are listed per size; we will supply the size-12 figures on request. Ball retention keeps the ISO 3290 G10 Japanese balls in place while you position the carriages, a double-lip seal manages grease and dust, and an outer cover shields the seal strip and screw heads. Do not exceed an 80 C ambient, with 100 C as the transient ceiling. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this specific configuration through the RFQ.

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 vision head rides two long carriages over trays of packaged dies; the precision P grade keeps the optical axis true from stroke to stroke inside a compact inspection cell.
Bottom-mounting hides the rail beneath a dispensing deck, and the smooth, preload-free travel lets a fine needle follow bead paths without jerking or free play.
When rebuilding an old jig whose base has recessed pockets, the bottom-mount rail drops in from below; a precision set restores travel accuracy the original lost to wear.
For a heavy or cantilevered axis, move up to LSH: it is a larger series with published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can actually size against, which LRM does not provide. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity beats ball recirculation, look at LGC. Match this code against your drawing: complete set (rail included), 12 mm rail, long carriages, two of them, 395 mm rail length, preload A (none - simplest to install, least resistance to play), accuracy P, bottom-mount orientation. The load rating must be confirmed with us per model before you commit.
Quick checklist
Rail 12 mm wide and 395 mm long, two long carriages, accuracy P (precision), preload A (none), bottom-mount format with a 10 mm end-hole offset. Fix with M3 screws - 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron, 98 N.cm into aluminium - into a ground or finish-milled seat, and put the datum on the same side for both carriages to improve running accuracy. The ambient ceiling is 80 C with 100 C transient peaks. Re-grease every 100 km or every 3 to 6 months. No load or moment rating is published for LRM; we confirm it for this model on request.
Yes for one axis: the 395 mm rail with both long carriages fitted. The T changes only the mounting direction - fixing holes open underneath for a flush top deck - so plan the tapped holes and screw access in the base plate before machining. If you later need a replacement carriage, the BK carriage-only format is the route, but we stock very few carriage-only SKUs, so expect a special order and handle the swap carefully: insert square, never force it, and note balls can still escape despite the retention design.
