The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X210S12.5AH 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.
This LRM12N2X210S12.5AH is a ready-made miniature guide assembly: a 12 mm stainless-steel rail, 210 mm end to end, holes drilled 12.5 mm from the ends, with two standard recirculating-ball carriages already seated on it. It bolts down from the top - the plain, no-suffix mounting direction - onto a ground or finish-milled surface.
Two blocks on a single rail is the configuration that resists tipping along the direction of travel, which matters on short, snappy moves. Set the datum face on the same side of the rail for both carriages and running accuracy improves; either side of the rail may serve as the datum. Ball retention keeps the ISO 3290 G10 Japanese-made balls in the carriage while you handle it, the double-lip seal manages oil retention and dust, and the outer cover hides the screws and guards the seal strip. Keep ambients at or below 80 C, peaks 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for the LRM series; we confirm the figures for this model against your application - raise the RFQ.

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 small SMT bench cell moving a vacuum head between feeder and board gains anti-tip stability from two blocks spaced along one 210 mm rail.
In a compact marking or labelling unit, this rail carries the carriage a toothed belt sweeps back and forth across the 210 mm span.
Sliding a crimp die or fixture into its work position, with preload A keeping the slide easy for an operator to move by hand.
If your load is heavy or reaches out on a cantilever, LSH is the series with the published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings to size against - LRM offers no such table, which is why its figures are confirmed per model. Short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness points to LGC instead.
Checklist for this code: complete set, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, two blocks, 210 mm rail, preload A with the easy-fit, most-free-play trade-off, accuracy H, top-mount. If you are still choosing a rail width, note that size 12 is by far the most widely listed LRM size in our range, so a 12 mm layout keeps more length, preload and accuracy combinations open than 15 mm does. Confirm the load rating with us before you commit.
Quick checklist
It is a two-block set on a 12 mm wide, 210 mm long stainless rail with top-mount fixing holes 12.5 mm from each end. Carriages are standard length; preload is grade A (none) and accuracy grade H (high). Mount with M3 screws: 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron, 98 N.cm into aluminium. Regrease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months; ambient ceiling 80 C, brief peaks 100 C. AirTAC publishes no load or moment ratings for LRM - we confirm them for this specific model on enquiry.
Decide by what you need to prove. LSH prints dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage, so if your design review needs verified capacity numbers, that is the series with the paperwork. LRM, this set included, wins where the envelope is tight, the duty is light and smoothness matters; its capacity is real but unlisted, and we confirm it per model. Ask us with your load, mounting span and duty cycle, and we will point you at the right series.
