The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X320S10AP 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.
LRM12N2X320S10AP is a precision-grade AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set: one 320 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, 10 mm end-hole offset, carrying two standard-length recirculating-ball carriages, top-mounted, with no preload (grade A) and accuracy grade P - the tighter of the two grades LRM offers, above the standard H.
Precision grade only delivers on a prepared machine: the catalogue requires the mounting surfaces to be ground or finish-milled for the rated travel accuracy to hold, so budget for that machining step when you specify P. With two carriages on one rail, set the datum reference on the same side for both to keep running accuracy at its best. The balls themselves are Japanese-made ISO 3290 G10 - a grade that covers the balls only, not the guide assembly - running behind a double-lip seal that controls oil scraping and dust exclusion, with an outer cover protecting the seal strip. Ambient temperature must stay at or below 80 C, peaks to 100 C. Note that P grade costs more and pairs here with zero preload, so it suits measuring duties where free-running smoothness matters more than shock resistance. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; the RFQ is where we confirm the figures for this specific 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 compact fiber-laser marker sweeps its focus head along a 320 mm axis over small parts; precision grade P keeps the beam path repeatable pass after pass.
A benchtop cell places tiny components into catheter and sensor assemblies; the unpreloaded, precision-grade carriage positions gently and repeatably in a clean, dry environment.
A small-gauge comparator carries a probe along a controlled axis past a reference standard; grade P running on a ground surface gives the repeatability the measurement needs.
No published load table exists for LRM, so if your sizing depends on numbers, LSH is the family with per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can verify against your duty cycle; LGC covers short-travel work that needs crossed-roller rigidity. Stay with this LRM set when the envelope is small and the duty light but the accuracy requirement is above standard. Check: complete-set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, two carriages, 320 mm rail, 10 mm end offset, preload A - the freest-running grade, chosen here so precision motion is not fought by internal preload, at the cost of the least shock tolerance - accuracy P, top-mount fixing, and confirmation of the load rating with us before you commit. Also confirm your mounting surfaces can be ground or finish-milled, since P grade assumes it.
Quick checklist
Complete set with a 12 mm wide stainless rail, 320 mm long, 10 mm end-hole offset, top-mount fixing, two standard-length carriages, preload A (none) and precision accuracy grade P. Torque M3 screws to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron, 98 N.cm in aluminium; M2 screws take 58.8, 39.2 and 29.4 N.cm. The ambient temperature limit is 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C, and re-greasing is due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months through the carriage lubrication hole. Achieving P grade requires ground or finish-milled mounting surfaces. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model via the RFQ.
The deciding factor is usually whether you need published numbers. LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, so you can size a cantilevered or heavy load on paper; LRM publishes none of these, and any LRM selection ends with us confirming the figures for your exact model. What this LRM12 set offers in return is a 12 mm rail in a miniature envelope, 320 mm of travel, two standard carriages, zero preload for free-running motion, and precision grade P - with the caveat that P grade demands ground or finish-milled mounting surfaces to deliver its rated accuracy, and that the ISO 3290 G10 ball grade applies to the balls alone. For short travel with crossed-roller rigidity, compare LGC. Send your duty details through the RFQ and we will confirm the right choice.
