The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X320S10AHT 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.
LRM12N2X320S10AHT is the bottom-mount version of the AirTAC LRM12 set: a 320 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with a 10 mm end-hole offset and two standard-length recirculating-ball carriages fitted on delivery. The trailing T in the code puts the fixing holes through the rail so it bolts down from underneath. Preload is A - none - accuracy is H, high.
Bottom-mount fixing earns its place on machines where the top face of the rail must stay clear - a cover strip, a worktable skin or a guard passes over the rail while the screws sit hidden beneath. Because either side of the rail can serve as the datum face, you can reference the rail from whichever edge suits the frame; with two carriages on one rail, put both datum references on the same side for better running accuracy. The LRM family is a common-rail design, so standard and long carriages share this same rail profile. Carriages run on Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 balls - a grade for the balls alone - behind a double-lip seal and an outer cover. Ambient temperature must not exceed 80 C, with peaks to 100 C; and remember that on an inclined rail the carriage can slide off under its own weight, so hold it during handling. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - confirm them per model through 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 maintenance team drops a 320 mm axis into an old fixture whose top plate cannot be drilled; bottom-mount fixing lets the rail fasten from below without touching the working surface.
A small pick-and-place head shuttles between feeder and nest on a short stroke; two carriages keep the overhanging head level through each rapid reversal.
A cable-harnessed axis on a benchtop analyzer routes its loom over the rail top side; with screws recessed underneath, nothing snags the moving harness.
Because LRM publishes no dynamic, static or moment ratings, the sizing decision starts elsewhere: if the load is significant or overhung, LSH gives you published per-carriage ratings to work through, and LGC answers short-travel jobs that need crossed-roller rigidity. Keep this LRM set when the envelope is tight and the duty is light. Match on: complete-set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, two carriages, 320 mm rail, 10 mm end offset, preload A - chosen here for free, low-drag running, accepting that unpreloaded guides tolerate the least shock - accuracy H, and bottom-mount fixing, which is the defining difference from the non-T variant of the same set. Confirm the load rating with us before ordering.
Quick checklist
Complete set: 12 mm wide stainless rail, 320 mm long, 10 mm end-hole offset, bottom-mount fixing (the trailing T in the code), two standard-length carriages, preload A (none), accuracy grade H. M3 screws torque to 196 N.cm into steel, 127 N.cm into cast iron and 98 N.cm into aluminium; M2 screws take 58.8, 39.2 and 29.4 N.cm. Ambient temperature limit is 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C. Re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months, topping up through the lubrication hole at the rear of the carriage; grease quantities vary per model. Basic dynamic, static and moment load ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them for this exact model on request.
The 320 mm rail comes with both carriages fitted and pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 grease; screws and top-up lubricant are not supplied. Bottom-mount means the fixing holes run through the rail so it bolts from beneath - ideal where the top face stays clear for a cover or work surface - while the top-mount variant of the same set screws down from above. Before first use, wipe off the rust-preventive oil and apply fresh lubricant. One handling note specific to the fitted carriages: even with ball retention, sliding a carriage onto or off a rail at an angle can drop balls, and on an inclined rail the carriage can slide away under its own weight, so handle it deliberately.
