The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N10X995S10AH 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.
One stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide and 995 mm long, carrying ten standard recirculating-ball carriages - that is the LRM12N10X995S10AH, a complete top-mount set with 10 mm end-hole offset. Every carriage runs on the same continuous rail profile, so you can place ten separate grips, probes or stops along a single unjointed rail.
At 995 mm this sits just under the 1005 mm catalogue full length for size 12, so you are effectively buying a full-length multi-station rail rather than a trimmed one. With ten carriages on one rail, set the datum face on the same side for every block - the manufacturer notes this improves running accuracy on multi-carriage installations. The rail is stainless steel; the balls are ISO 3290 G10 grade (a grade for the balls only, not an accuracy standard for the guide), kept captive by a ball-retention design, while a double-lip seal and outer cover handle grease scraping and debris. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks to 100 C, and remember an inclined rail can let a carriage slide off under its own weight - hold it during assembly. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; send us the RFQ and we will confirm figures for this exact ten-carriage build.

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.
Ten probe stations indexed along one continuous 995 mm rail in an electronics tester - each station rides its own carriage on the same rail.
Several small vacuum heads share a single 12 mm rail, each on its own carriage, so head positions can be re-spaced without redesigning the guide.
A light-duty transfer rail moving small PCB carriers between assembly stations, with the ten blocks serving ten pickup points.
Sizing caution: LRM ships without published load data, so if the payload is substantial or canted, compare LSH, whose catalogue lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage you can actually calculate against. LGC is the alternative when travel is short and crossed-roller stiffness is what you need. For this ten-carriage set, pin down: form (complete set), 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, ten blocks, 995 mm rail, preload A, accuracy H, top-mount mounting - and confirm the load rating with us before you commit.
Quick checklist
It is a 12 mm rail, 995 mm long, with ten standard carriages, preload A, accuracy H, top-mount fixing and a 10 mm end offset - close to the 1005 mm catalogue full length for size 12. Mount on a ground or finish-milled face; torque M3 screws to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron and 98 N.cm in aluminium (M2: 58.8, 39.2 and 29.4 N.cm). The ambient limit is 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C, and re-greasing falls due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load, moment and running-parallelism figures are not published for LRM - we confirm the load rating per model via RFQ.
Choose LRM when size, smoothness and a compact 12 mm envelope matter most and the load is light; choose LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered, because LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage you can size against, while LRM publishes none. For short strokes needing crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the third option. With ten carriages on one rail, keep every datum face on the same side of the rail - the manufacturer notes this improves running accuracy - and always confirm the load rating with us before committing.
