The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X295S10CPT 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 ends in T, which places the rail fixing holes for access from beneath: LRM12N1X295S10CPT pairs a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail, 295 mm long with 10 mm end offsets, and a single standard-length recirculating-ball carriage, bolted through the underside so the screw heads stay hidden and the machine deck above the rail stays unbroken.
Accuracy is P and preload is C (medium), the stiffest grade on this series and the right call where a measuring or alignment axis must never show slack - though it asks the most of the mounting surface, which should be ground or finish-milled. The carriage runs on ISO 3290 G10 balls, a grade that applies to the balls alone, behind a double-lip seal that scrapes oil and excludes dust, with an outer cover over the seal strip. Keep the ambient at or under 80 C, peaks 100 C. The 100 km re-grease interval arrives sooner than it reads: a 200 mm stroke cycling once per second covers that distance in roughly three weeks of continuous running, so distance, not the calendar, sets the schedule. No load or moment ratings are published for LRM - confirm the figures for this model with us via 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.

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.
Guiding a small suction head across a short span in an electronics assembly cell; underside fixing keeps the top of the gantry clear for other hardware.
Moving a magnified camera over a solder-joint inspection table; medium preload stops the axis drifting when the stage halts for imaging.
Aligning a benchtop laser onto a target; bottom fixing lets the slide sit flush in a frame with no screw heads standing proud.
Sizing starts with the load. LRM publishes no load or moment figures, so anything heavy, offset or tipping belongs on LSH, whose catalogue lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage you can calculate with. If the stroke is short and the priority is rigidity, LGC crossed rollers fit better. Then match the order code: set or carriage, 12 mm rail width, carriage length, carriage count and rail length, preload grade (C is the firmest here and needs the cleanest mounting surface), accuracy grade, mounting direction, and the pairing code if you are replacing a single carriage. Ask us to confirm the ratings for this model before ordering.
Quick checklist
A 12 mm wide rail, 295 mm long, 10 mm end offsets, with one standard carriage, medium preload (C), precision accuracy (P) and bottom-mount fixing. Torque for M2 screws runs 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron and 29.4 into aluminium; for M3, 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Keep the ambient at or below 80 C (peaks 100 C) and re-grease after each 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. No load or moment ratings are published for the LRM series; tell us the model and we confirm the figures.
This is a complete set, not a bare carriage: one 295 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, drilled for underside fixing, plus one standard-length carriage, pre-greased and mounted as delivered. Carriage-only LRM codes are separate SKUs, and because we carry only a handful of those, most single-carriage replacements are a special order - if you ever need one, the pairing code on the original must match.
