The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X220S10CHT 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.
LRM12N2X220S10CHT is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide: one 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail cut to 220 mm, carrying two standard-length recirculating-ball carriages. The trailing T in the code makes this a bottom-mount rail, so the fixing screws are driven from underneath the mounting table. You receive the assembled rail and both carriages, greased and ready to bolt down.
Preload C is the medium grade, the stiffest option offered on this series, so the carriages run tight with minimal internal play at the cost of higher drag and a less forgiving fit on imperfect surfaces. Two carriages on one rail share the work and resist tipping along the direction of travel. The recirculating balls are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 grade, held by a ball-retention design so they stay in place during handling, while a double-lip seal and outer cover manage dust and keep grease where it belongs. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C. Basic dynamic and static load ratings are not published for LRM, so we confirm the figures for this exact model when you send an 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.
Bottom-mount fixing lets the guide sit beneath a fixture plate on a small electronics pick-and-place machine, keeping the top face clear for part nests while the twin carriages carry the head level.
A 220 mm stroke under a benchtop microscope stage gives smooth, repeatable positioning, and the grade-H running accuracy holds the sample plane across the travel.
Two carriages under a small fluid-dispensing head resist tipping as the valve stops and starts, and preload C removes the play that would smear dot placement.
Choose LRM when the priority is a small, smooth, precise guide in a tight envelope. Step up to LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered, because LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, which LRM does not. If travel is short and the job needs crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the cross-over choice. Before ordering, confirm the form (complete set), rail width 12 mm, carriage length (standard), count (2), rail length 220 mm, preload C - remembering that a firmer preload demands flatter, cleaner mounting faces - accuracy H and the bottom-mount direction, then send us your load case so we can confirm the rating for this model.
Quick checklist
This set has a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail 220 mm long with two standard-length carriages fitted. Preload is C (medium), accuracy grade is H (high), and the rail is bottom-mount, fixed with screws driven from below. Recommended screw torque is 196 N.cm for M3 screws into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron and 98 N.cm into aluminium. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with peaks no higher than 100 C, and re-greasing is due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them for this model on request.
Pick LRM when the envelope is small and the duty is light: this 12 mm set prioritises footprint, smoothness and precision. Pick LSH when the load is heavy or overhung - LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can design against, whereas LRM ratings must be confirmed per model. If in doubt, send us the load, duty cycle and mounting sketch and we will recommend the right series.
