The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X245S10APT 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 rarest combination in this group: LRM12N2X245S10APT pairs P-grade precision accuracy with bottom-mount fixing on a 12 mm, 245 mm rail carrying two standard carriages, no preload, 10 mm end-hole offset. Nothing else in the code changes - one stainless-steel rail and two recirculating-ball carriages shipped as a matched set.
This pairing suits a precision subassembly built upside down or recessed into a baseplate, where the tightened rail must not protrude above its seat. Handling still needs care: do not strike or drop the rail, because a knock can affect accuracy with no visible damage, and the 80 C ambient limit (100 C transient) stands. The balls inside each carriage are ISO 3290 G10 grade - a statement about the balls alone. As with every LRM code, no load or moment rating is published; we confirm the numbers for this configuration before you order, so send the RFQ early in the design.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC LRM catalogue. The catalogue does not publish load or moment ratings, running parallelism, speed limits, or carriage base material for LRM. We will not quote a figure we cannot source — ask us and we will confirm it for your model.

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 bottom-fixed precision rail under a benchtop microscope's focus bridge keeps fastener heads below the optical plane and out of the image path.
A laboratory dispenser that must land repeatably benefits from P accuracy, though the carried mass should be checked against our confirmed per-model rating first.
Aligning a small laser module on a recessed baseplate suits bottom-mount fixing; keep transient temperatures under 100 C near the diode driver.
Two things decide this purchase. The first is geometry: bottom-mount fixing and a 245 mm, 12 mm rail with two standard carriages, zero preload and P accuracy for tight travel tolerances - check each of those against your drawing, and remember the mounting surface must be ground or finish-milled for the rated accuracy to mean anything. The second is capacity: because LRM publishes no load or moment ratings, the only safe path is to confirm the figures with us for this exact code before ordering; a cantilevered or heavy load belongs on LSH, whose catalogue does publish per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, while a short-travel job needing crossed-roller stiffness belongs on LGC. If you are replacing a single carriage rather than buying a set, note that carriage-only stock is thin and usually a special order - send us the pairing code off the original part.
Quick checklist
One 12 mm wide, 245 mm long stainless-steel rail and two standard recirculating-ball carriages, factory-fitted and pre-greased - a complete matched set, not a rail plus loose parts. Preload grade is A (none), accuracy grade P, fixing is bottom-mount via the trailing T, and the end-hole offset is 10 mm. At this length the rail is a single piece, not a spliced pair. Ambient ceiling is 80 C with 100 C transients; re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - request the RFQ and we confirm the figures for this exact configuration.
Decide on ratings, not shape. LRM wins on envelope: a 12 mm rail in a tight, light-duty positioning role, which is exactly what this code is. LSH wins when you need numbers to design with, because its catalogue publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage and LRM's does not - so if your structure hangs a real load off the carriage, size it on LSH. Crossed-roller LGC covers short travels where rigidity beats low friction. Whichever way you lean, confirm the load rating with us for the specific model before committing.
