The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X245S10CP 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 code orders a matched set, not a spare part: the AirTAC LRM12N1X245S10CP arrives as one 12 mm wide, 245 mm stainless-steel rail with one standard-length ball carriage already fitted, precision grade accuracy, medium preload and a top-mount rail.
Precision grade P is the tighter of the two accuracy options on LRM, and it pairs here with medium preload - the stiffer, less forgiving choice, which trades a little running drag for reduced play. The carriage ships greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2; top up through the rear lubrication hole every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first, and never mix lubricant types. The recirculating balls are ISO 3290 G10 Japanese-made, a grade that applies to the balls alone rather than to the assembled guide. No load or moment rating is published for the LRM series - describe your application in the RFQ and we will confirm the numbers for this exact model before you commit.

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.

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 small machine-vision camera along a scanned part, the slide must track straight enough that the lens stays square to the workpiece. Precision grade travel keeps the image repeatable between cycles.
A bench gauge that slides a dial indicator or sensor across a finished part benefits from precision grade travel accuracy. Mount the rail on a ground or finish-milled surface to keep the reading honest.
Positioning ferrules during connector assembly needs repeatable, light-touch motion. Medium preload reduces play so the alignment does not wander between cycles.
Match the guide to the task in two directions. Upward: if the payload is heavy or overhung, move to LSH, whose catalogue lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage - figures LRM does not publish, so LSH lets you do the arithmetic. Across: for very short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness, LGC fits better. Checklist for this set: 12 mm rail width, 245 mm rail, one standard carriage, medium preload (rigid but less forgiving to install), precision grade accuracy, top-mount rail. Ask us to confirm the load rating for this exact model - we do it with every RFQ.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm, rail length 245 mm, one standard-length carriage, precision grade accuracy, preload C (medium), top-mount rail. M3 fixing screws torque to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron and 98 N.cm in aluminium; keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaks to 100 C, and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. What the catalogue does not give is any load, moment or speed rating for LRM - those are confirmed per model, so send us the RFQ and we will check your application.
A complete set: one 12 mm wide, 245 mm long stainless-steel rail with one standard-length ball carriage already fitted, precision grade, medium preload, mounting from the top. Nothing else is in the box - no extra carriages, no rail-only sections. If you later need a spare carriage on its own, carriage-only codes carry a pairing letter that must match the rail; we stock only four carriage-only SKUs, so most spares are special orders.
