The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X245S10AP 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.
LRM12N2X245S10AP is the precision-accuracy version of the 245 mm, two-carriage 12 mm set. The final letter moves from H to P, and P is the tighter of the two accuracy grades published for LRM travel and height tolerances. Configuration: one 12 mm stainless-steel rail, 245 mm long, two standard carriages, no preload, 10 mm end-hole offset, top-mount fixing. The set arrives complete - rail and fitted carriages together.
Choose P when the machine's own accuracy budget is tight: a measuring fixture, an optics carrier, a placement head that must return to the same coordinates every cycle. The common-rail design means a replacement standard carriage shares this rail profile within the LRM series, and the double-lip seal plus outer cover protect the raceways from dust and light debris in indoor work. Mind the 80 C ambient ceiling with 100 C transients. Because AirTAC publishes no load or moment ratings for LRM, the capacity of this exact part is confirmed per model - send the RFQ and we will return the confirmed figures.

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.
P-grade accuracy helps a lens or sensor carrier return to position on a benchtop alignment rig across the full 245 mm travel.
A go/no-go measuring fixture for small machined parts uses the tighter P travel tolerance so the fixture's own error stays small next to the part tolerance.
Light die-pick stages inside compact assembly tools run on miniature guides; keep the ambient below 80 C near any hotplate or curing station.
Match this code against your drawing point by point: complete set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage, carriage count 2, rail length 245 mm, preload grade A (none - simplest to mount, lowest drag), accuracy grade P, top-mount rail fixing, and no pairing code because the carriages come fitted. Then the two decisions that need judgement. First, load: LRM has no published ratings, so send us the RFQ and we confirm the dynamic, static and moment capacity for this exact model; if the numbers come back short, LSH is the series above and its catalogue does list per-carriage ratings you can calculate against. Second, guidance type: where travel is short and rigidity matters more than low friction, LGC crossed-roller guides are the alternative. Accuracy P costs more than H; buy it only when the machine's tolerance budget genuinely needs it.
Quick checklist
Complete set, 12 mm stainless-steel rail, 245 mm long, two standard carriages, no preload (A), P precision accuracy, top-mount fixing, 10 mm end-hole offset. The balls in the carriages are ISO 3290 G10 grade - a statement about the balls only, not an assembly standard or an accuracy grade for the guide. Grease: pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2, re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, charge quantities vary per model. Ambient limit 80 C, transient 100 C. Screw torque: M2 at 58.8 N.cm or M3 at 196 N.cm into steel. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model before you order.
Buy P when the machine's accuracy budget is tight - metrology fixtures, optical carriers, repeatable placement - because P is the tighter of the two LRM grades. Do not look to P for strength: accuracy says nothing about capacity. If your load is significant or cantilevered, LSH is the better series because its catalogue publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against; for short travels needing crossed-roller rigidity, compare LGC.
