The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X120S10CP 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.
LRM12N2X120S10CP is a complete miniature guide set built on a 12 mm wide, 120 mm long stainless rail with a 10 mm end-hole offset, carrying two standard carriages fixed from the top. It is the firmest variant of this 120 mm family: preload code C is the medium grade, the stiffest LRM offers, which removes play for a more rigid feel at the cost of slightly higher running friction and less tolerance of mounting misalignment.
The carriages ride on ISO 3290 G10 grade balls - that grade applies to the balls only, not the assembly - retained so they do not spill during handling, and protected by a double-lip seal under an outer cover. Having two carriages on one rail also helps resist tipping along the direction of travel, a useful trait when the tool sits above the carriage centreline. The rail is stainless steel; ambient heat must stay within 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C briefly. Because LRM publishes no load or moment ratings, the capacity of this set is confirmed model by model - ask us through the RFQ and we will verify it against your application.

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 go/no-go checking fixture on a production line where the sensing head must return to the same position every cycle - medium preload C keeps the motion free of play.
An automated microscope or sensor head that swaps filters into the beam path, needing repeatable seating of each filter with no slop in the carriage.
A repetitive feed mechanism advancing components one at a time into an assembly station, where the stiff, play-free carriage keeps each push consistent.
When the tool is heavy or overhangs the carriage, move to AirTAC LSH, whose catalogue lists dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage - data LRM does not print, so any figure for this set has to come from us. Short-travel axes that need crossed-roller rigidity belong on LGC instead. Before ordering, tick off: set form, 12 mm rail, standard carriage, two blocks, 120 mm rail length, medium preload C and its tighter demands on ground or finish-milled mounting surfaces, accuracy P, top mounting, and a confirmed load figure - send us the application and we will verify the rating for this configuration.
Quick checklist
Published: a 12 mm wide stainless rail cut to 120 mm with a 10 mm end offset, two standard carriages on top-mount fixing, medium preload C and precision grade P. M3 screws go to 196 N.cm into steel, 127 into cast iron, 98 into aluminium. The environment must stay within 80 C ambient, with short peaks to 100 C, and lubrication is refreshed every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. The catalogue prints no load, moment or running-parallelism figures for LRM - we verify capacity for this model when you enquire.
It does: the 120 mm rail and its two standard carriages are supplied together as one assembled unit, factory-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No.2 grease. Do not dismantle the carriages or slide them off the rail without need - angled or hasty fitting can drop balls despite the retainer, and a dummy rail helps during swaps. A spare carriage alone is an LRM12BK- code matched by pairing letter, and carriage-only availability is thin, so plan replacements with us early.
