The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X220S10BH 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.
The LRM12N2X220S10BH is a complete miniature guide set: a stainless-steel rail 12 mm wide and 220 mm long, top-mounted, carrying two standard carriages. Preload grade B applies a light internal preload, sitting between the free-running A grade and the firmer C grade, so internal clearance is reduced without the stiffer drag of a medium-preload block.
Light preload tightens up play in the running direction, which helps a head return to position repeatably, while the carriage still slides easily by hand for setup. Balls in each carriage are ISO 3290 G10 Japanese grade for roundness, protected by a double-lip seal and an outer cover over the screws and seal strip. The common-rail profile lets standard and long carriages share the same rail. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with peaks to 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the rating for this exact configuration before you buy - send 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.
Maintenance teams rebuilding small welding or gluing jigs fit this set to restore smooth, low-play travel to a hand-positioned slide.
Two carriages guide a tray shuttle that steps vial racks along a compact pharmaceutical packaging bench with reduced play.
A print-and-apply label head rides the twin carriages across a 220 mm traverse on a compact case-coding station, returning to register each pass.
For heavy or cantilevered loads, LSH is the step up: its published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings let you size on paper, which LRM cannot. Short travel with a crossed-roller rigidity requirement points across to LGC instead. Checklist: complete set, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, 2 blocks, 220 mm rail, preload B (light - less play than A, slightly firmer feel, still easy to fit), H high accuracy, top-mount. There is no heavy preload grade on LRM. Confirm the load rating with us before ordering.
Quick checklist
It is a complete set: 12 mm rail width, 220 mm rail length, 10 mm end-hole offset, two standard carriages, preload B (light), accuracy H (high), top-mount rail. Screw torques: M2 at 58.8 N.cm into steel, 39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium; M3 at 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Ambient limit 80 C, transient peaks 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months - a 200 mm stroke cycling once per second reaches 100 km in roughly three weeks, so the distance binds before the calendar. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model.
In the box: one 220 mm stainless rail and two standard carriages already mounted, pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease. Preload B removes a little internal clearance, so the carriage feels slightly firmer than the A grade but keeps most of its free-sliding character; no heavy preload exists in this series. Across our stock, rail length and carriage count - not rail width - drive most of the price spread, so trimming travel is the easiest way to trim cost.
