Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10AP
The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10AP 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.

About the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10AP
The P at the end of LRM12N1X295S10AP marks a precision-grade set: one 295mm stainless rail, 12mm wide, with a single standard-length ball carriage, top-mounted, first hole 10mm from the rail end. Where grade H holds travel straightness to a high standard, grade P tightens it further - the choice for optics and measurement work where wander shows up in the reading.
Precision class does not change the mechanical design. The carriage still rolls on Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls - the grade covers the balls only - retained so they cannot fall out during normal handling, though the manufacturer cautions that angled fitting or quick carriage swaps can still shed them, so plan a dummy rail for field service. The double-lip seal and outer cover keep grease in and swarf out. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with short peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for the LRM series; we confirm them for this model against your RFQ.

Where the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10AP Is Used
Travelling bridge on a measuring microscope
The bridge of a small measuring microscope slides on rails whose straightness defines the reading; grade P keeps the optical path truer over 295mm than the standard H class.
Belt-driven micro stage in electronics assembly
Where a thin belt or wire tether drags the carriage, preload A keeps running drag low so a small stepper is not robbed of torque; the ball-retainer design eases the occasional carriage inspection.
Laser alignment slider on an optical table
A mirror or beam-splitter mount sliding 295mm for coarse alignment benefits from P-grade travel; the moment from an offset optic is a rating question, so confirm it with us per model.
Is the Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10AP the Right Guide?
Size the axis in this order: first the envelope, then the load. If the load is heavy or overhung, move up to LSH - its catalogue gives dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can plug into a calculation, something the LRM range does not offer. If travel is short and you need crossed-roller stiffness, look at LGC instead. For this precision set, match: complete guide with rail, 12mm width, standard carriage length, one carriage, 295mm rail, preload A with running clearance, accuracy P, top-mount holes. Note that across the range price scales with rail length and carriage count far more than with rail width, so trimming travel saves more than downsizing the rail. Confirm the load rating with us - we will check it for this model before ordering.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Complete set, carriage only, or rail only?
- ✓ Load and moment confirmed with us
- ✓ Travel length and mounting space
- ✓ Accuracy grade and preload
- ✓ Mounting surface ground or finish-milled
- ✓ Pairing code, if replacing a part
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled.
- check Torque the rail screws per the recommended figures, in sequence.
- check Keep the mounting corner radius inside the stated R maximum.
- check Do not angle the carriage onto the rail; balls can drop out.
- check Drive the supplied bolt caps into the mounting holes.
- check Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3–6 months.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10AP FAQ
Choose LRM12N1X295S10AP when the envelope is tight, the duty is light and straightness of travel matters - the P grade here is the precision class of the LRM range. Choose LSH when the load is significant or cantilevered: LSH publishes basic dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can size from, whereas LRM publishes none and we confirm ratings per model. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity beats ball smoothness, LGC is the cross-over choice. The two series are separate products and their parts do not interchange.
Rail width 12mm, rail length 295mm, one standard-length carriage, no preload (grade A), accuracy grade P, rail mounted from the top with the first hole 10mm from the end. Assembly torque: M2 screws 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 N.cm into cast iron, 29.4 N.cm into aluminium; M3 screws take 196, 127 and 98 N.cm in the same order. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C, with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease after every 100km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Dynamic load, static load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; send your load case and we confirm the values for this model.
