The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X125S12.5AP is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriage. 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 LRM12N1X125S12.5AP set pairs a 12 mm stainless rail, 125 mm long, with one standard-length carriage in the P precision accuracy grade. It is a complete, ready-to-bolt assembly - a matched rail and block, not a carriage sold on its own.
Precision grade tightens the geometry between rail and carriage, which matters when a measurement or exposure has to land in the same place every cycle. The carriage runs on ISO 3290 G10 balls (a grade for the balls alone; the guide itself carries no accuracy standard claim), kept clean by a double-lip seal with an outer cover hiding the screws. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks to 100 C. Because AirTAC publishes no load or moment ratings for LRM, we verify them for this code before you order - just ask through the RFQ.

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.

| N | Standard carriage. |
| 1X125 | 1 carriage on a 125 mm rail. |
| S… | End-hole offset from the rail end, in mm. |
| A | A — no preload — higher preload raises rigidity and tightens how flat the mounting surface must be. |
| P | P — precision grade. |

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.
Carrying a dial-indicator or sensor bracket across a part in a shop-floor checking fixture; precision grade P supports repeatable readings at the same station.
Positioning a test socket or probe head over PCB pads on a small production fixture, where the 125 mm rail fits a benchtop cell without eating workspace.
Sliding a lens holder or mirror mount in a laboratory setup, where the roundness of the G10 balls (the balls alone) and the fine geometry of the P version protect pointing accuracy.
Start the choice from the grade: P precision buys tighter geometry between rail and carriage than H, which pays off in measuring and optical work but costs more than the H version of the same 125 mm set. If loads grow heavy or overhang, move to AirTAC LSH, whose catalogue lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage - ratings LRM does not publish, so for this block they get confirmed with us per model. Where travel is short and crossed-roller stiffness is the priority, compare LGC. Checklist: complete set, 12 mm rail, standard carriage, one block, 125 mm length, preload A (free-sliding and simplest to mount), accuracy P, top-mount, plus our confirmation of the load rating before you buy.
Quick checklist
Published data: 12 mm stainless rail, 125 mm rail length, one standard carriage, no preload (class A), precision accuracy grade P, top-mount fixing, M3 screw torque of 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron and 98 N.cm into aluminium, an 80 C ambient ceiling with 100 C transient peaks, and a re-grease interval of 100 km of travel or 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are deliberately absent from the LRM catalogue; we verify them for this exact code before ordering.
Yes. This code is a complete set - one 12 mm, 125 mm long stainless rail with a single precision-grade standard carriage already assembled on it, so nothing else is needed to bolt it down. It is not a carriage-only part: those carry BK in the code plus a pairing letter, and our carriage-only stock is very thin. Note that the ball-retention design helps but does not guarantee balls stay in if the block is tilted onto a rail or swapped hastily, so handle the fitted carriage and rail as one unit.
