The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X120S10AHT is a miniature linear guide on a 12 mm stainless-steel rail with recirculating-ball carriages. 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.
LRM12N2X120S10AHT is the bottom-mount variant of the 12 mm miniature guide set: a 120 mm stainless-steel rail with two standard recirculating-ball carriages, H accuracy grade and no preload. The trailing T in the code means the fixing holes are arranged so screws are driven from beneath the mounting surface rather than down through the rail's face. The set ships assembled and pre-greased.
Bottom mounting earns its keep when the top of the rail has to stay clear - a reference face, a workpiece, or simply no tool access from above. It also leaves the rail's upper surface uninterrupted, which fixture designers often prefer around covers and wipers. The carriage balls are ISO 3290 G10 Japanese grade, held by a retention design that still demands careful, square insertion during fitting. Double-lip seals and outer covers manage dust and hold the grease in. Keep the surroundings at or below 80 C, with only brief excursions to 100 C. No load or moment rating is published for LRM; request the figure for this exact SKU through the RFQ and we will confirm it.

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.
Bolted from beneath an aluminium extrusion or machine base, the rail keeps its top face flush and clear where cables and covers pass over it.
A paddle that swings offcuts or misprints off a narrow belt rides on a short bottom-fixed rail, leaving the belt surface above unobstructed.
Trays of small boards slide in and out of a test rack; fixing the rail from below frees the top face for the tray runners and stops.
Because this rail bolts from below, check that your baseplate has through clearance holes and enough counterbore depth for the screw heads before committing to the T variant. If the mass carried is heavy or overhung - a vertical bracket, for instance - move to AirTAC LSH, which publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage; LRM offers nothing on paper to size against. Where travel is short and stiffness dominates, LGC's crossed-roller construction is the better match. Confirm on this order: set form, 12 mm rail, standard carriage length, 2 blocks, 120 mm rail, preload A (the forgiving choice for hand-built fixtures, since no clearance is removed at the factory), H accuracy, bottom-mount direction, and a load rating confirmed with us. Both mounting directions are stocked equally, so availability does not favour either.
Quick checklist
This SKU is 12 mm rail width, 120 mm rail length, two standard carriages, preload A (none), accuracy H (high), bottom-mount (T) fixing. Torque M2 screws to 58.8 N.cm in steel, 39.2 in cast iron, 29.4 in aluminium; M3 to 196, 127 and 98 N.cm respectively. Ambient must not exceed 80 C, with transient peaks to 100 C. Factory grease is Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2, topped up every 100 km of travel or every 3-6 months. AirTAC publishes no load or moment rating for LRM - send the RFQ and we confirm the number for this model.
Envelope and data, mostly. LRM is the compact end of the range: a 12 mm wide rail for light-duty positioning in tight spaces. LSH is the larger series and, crucially, publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can calculate with - LRM does not, which is why we verify LRM loads individually. If your application carries real mass or overhangs, size it in LSH; if footprint and smoothness dominate and the duty is light, stay with this LRM12 set and let us confirm the rating before you order.
