The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X125S12.5AH 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.
LRM12N2X125S12.5AH is a complete AirTAC LRM guide set built around a 12 mm wide stainless rail, 125 mm long, with a pair of standard carriages fitted and end holes set 12.5 mm in from each rail end. Preload grade A means the carriages run free of built-in preload, and accuracy grade H is the high grade. The rail fixes from above, with screws through the top face.
The 12.5 mm end offset defines the screw-hole spacing near the rail ends, which matters when your bed pattern is already fixed. Design points worth knowing: the balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 grade (that grade applies to the balls themselves, not the assembly), a double-lip seal scrapes oil and excludes dust, and an outer cover hides the screw heads and shields the seal strip. Ball retention keeps the balls in place during handling, but it is a handling aid rather than a promise - fitting the carriage at an angle or swapping it quickly can still drop balls, so keep a dummy rail if you plan repeated carriage changes. The ambient temperature limit is 80 C, peaks 100 C. Load and moment figures are confirmed per model - send the RFQ and we will get them for you.

A benchtop dispenser that lays adhesive dots on PCBs rides on this 12 mm set; the pair of carriages resists the small pitch that would otherwise tip a cantilevered needle head during acceleration.
On an optical table, a 125 mm slide carrying a mirror mount lets you trim beam position by hand with repeatable, low-stiction motion thanks to the zero-preload grade A fitting.
A quality bench that slides small machined parts past a dial or vision sensor uses the H accuracy grade for repeatability, with the 12 mm rail fitting inside a tight fixture body.
Sizing first: LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, so any load that is heavy or overhung should be checked there; LRM gives you no published numbers to size against. For short-travel work where crossed-roller stiffness beats ball smoothness, look across at LGC. The checklist for this series: complete set or carriage only, 12 mm rail width here, standard or long carriage, carriage count, 125 mm rail length, preload grade (A is free-running; B light and C medium stiffen the travel at the cost of drag), H or P accuracy, top or bottom mounting, and confirmation of the load rating with us before you commit. Replacement carriages are worth planning early - we carry only a handful of carriage-only SKUs, so most spares are a special order.
Quick checklist
Rail width 12 mm; rail length 125 mm with holes 12.5 mm from each end; two standard-length carriages; preload grade A (none); accuracy grade H (high); top-mount rail. Fastening: 58.8 N.cm for M2 screws into steel, 196 N.cm for M3, with cast iron and aluminium taking less. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, transient peaks 100 C. Lubrication: ships with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2, top up every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, whichever comes first. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this model on request via the RFQ.
Choose LSH when you need published numbers to size against - that series lists basic dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, plus running-parallelism data, none of which LRM publishes. Choose LRM when the envelope is miniature and the duty is light, and the choice rests on size, smoothness and precision rather than a datasheet figure. If you are unsure which side your application falls on, send the load, moment and duty cycle with the RFQ and we will confirm the right series and the actual ratings.
