The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12L2X395S10CHT 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 LRM12L2X395S10CHT is a complete miniature linear guide set: one stainless steel rail 12 mm wide and 395 mm long, carrying two long recirculating-ball carriages. The trailing T in the code fixes the rail for bottom-mounting, so the fixings are made through the underside and the top face stays clear. Rail and both carriages arrive matched and assembled as one set.
The long carriages spread contact over a longer ball row, which helps wherever a tipping moment appears, and preload C is the firmest grade LRM offers, removing play at the cost of slightly higher sliding resistance. The balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 - that grade covers the balls themselves, not the assembly - held by the ball-retainer design so they stay put during handling. A double-lip seal and an outer cover guard the raceway, and ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C with peaks no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the figure for this exact model when you send 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 micro-dispensing head traversing a 395 mm stroke over populated PCBs. Two long carriages under preload C resist the tipping of an off-centre nozzle, and the 12 mm rail fits the tight gantry cross-section.
A benchtop coordinate fixture for checking small moulded parts. Accuracy H keeps lateral runout predictable across the 395 mm travel, and the bottom-fixed rail leaves the reference face clear for the worktable.
A small connector-pressing station sliding a head between two nest positions. Preload C removes play so the press lands repeatably, and the double-lip seal copes with the fine swarf of trimmed leads.
If the load is substantial or hangs on a cantilever, step up to LSH instead: it publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate against, which LRM does not. For very short travels where crossed-roller rigidity matters, LGC is the closer match. LRM wins when the envelope is small and the motion must be smooth.
Match checklist: set form, 12 mm rail width, long carriage, two blocks, 395 mm rail length, preload C (rigid but less forgiving of mounting errors), accuracy H, bottom-mount rail direction - and confirm the load rating with us before you commit.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 395 mm with a 10 mm end-hole offset; two long carriages; preload C (medium); accuracy H (high); bottom-mount rail. Screw torque: M2 - 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron, 29.4 into aluminium; M3 - 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C, and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Basic dynamic, static and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model - ask us before ordering.
Choose LSH when the load is heavy, offset or cantilevered - LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can size against. LRM has no published ratings, so its case rests on the small 12 mm envelope, the smooth running of the recirculating balls and the 395 mm travel span. If your design must pass a calculated load check, LSH gives you the numbers; if size and smoothness dominate, this set is the right tool. Either way, send us the load case and we will confirm suitability.
