The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N1X320S10AP 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 SKU is a complete LRM12 miniature linear guide set: a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail cut to 320 mm, carrying one standard-length recirculating-ball carriage. The end mounting holes sit 10 mm in from the rail ends, so fixing down does not eat into usable travel. Nothing else is needed to make a working guide - rail and carriage arrive assembled and pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2.
This is the precision-grade version, suffix P, the tighter of the two accuracy grades AirTAC offers on LRM, and it is a top-mount rail, clamped from above through its own holes. The balls inside the carriage are graded ISO 3290 G10 - a grade that applies to the balls alone, not to the assembled guide - held captive by a ball-retention design, wiped by a double-lip seal and sheltered by an outer cover. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, with brief peaks to 100 C, which is worth checking next to a laser diode or a curing lamp. No load, moment or speed figure is published for LRM; we confirm the ratings for this exact part number before you commit - send the RFQ and we will come back with the numbers.

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.
A semiconductor die-inspection microscope moves a few tens of millimetres per axis. A 12 mm precision-grade rail with no preload gives friction-free, repeatable positioning under a lab technician's hand or a small stepper.
Aligning a laser path on an optical bench means nudging a mirror or lens holder by fractions of a millimetre. This top-mount set bolts flat to the breadboard and the P grade keeps the carriage tracking true over its 320 mm stroke.
In a quality lab, a comparator or height-measuring slide built on this 320 mm rail gets the tighter P-grade running accuracy that measurement fixtures depend on.
Size upward when the load becomes substantial or overhung: LSH is the larger series and publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can put straight into a calculation, which LRM does not - one more reason to confirm LRM loads with us first. If travel is short and the job demands crossed-roller rigidity instead, LGC is the cross-series alternative. Before ordering, check off: complete-set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, one carriage, 320 mm rail, preload A (the friction-free choice, but the loosest internally), accuracy P, top-mount fixing, and a confirmed load rating from us.
Quick checklist
It is a complete set: 12 mm rail width, 320 mm rail length, one standard-length carriage, preload A (none), accuracy grade P, top-mount rail, end holes 10 mm from the rail ends. Fixing screws take 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 into cast iron and 29.4 into aluminum for M2, or 196, 127 and 98 N.cm for M3. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C, with peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this exact part number before you order.
One assembled miniature guide: the 320 mm stainless-steel rail with the single P-grade carriage already mounted, pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. Mounting screws are not included, and we stock no bolt-cap packs or rail-only lengths - those are orderable items. Before first use, wipe off the rust-preventive oil, apply fresh lubricant through the hole at the rear of the carriage, and stroke the carriage until an even film shows on the rail.
