The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X320S10CPT 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.
LRM12N2X320S10CPT is a complete AirTAC LRM miniature linear guide set in its firmest stocked trim: a 320 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with two standard-length recirculating-ball carriages supplied mounted and pre-greased, specified with medium preload (C), P precision accuracy and bottom-mount rail fixing. Everything needed for the guide function arrives as one assembly; you add the prepared mounting seat and the fasteners.
Preload C is the rigid choice: internal clearance is removed so the stage feels tight and holds position under light tool forces, but running drag is higher and the mounting surface must be flatter and truer than a clearance-fit set would demand - budget for ground or finish-milled seats. Inside each carriage, Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls (the grade covers the balls alone) circulate behind a double-lip seal under an outer cover that shields the seal strip and screw heads. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm the figures for this exact model before you commit - send 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 compact laser marker's focusing stage runs a short, precise stroke; this set's C preload and P accuracy hold the lens axis steady, and the 80 C ambient ceiling is checked against head heat.
On a benchtop semiconductor inspection fixture, the bottom-mounted 320 mm rail leaves the top surface clear so a camera carriage can scan wafers without screw heads shadowing the optics or collecting debris.
A small electronics assembly cell pressing board connectors benefits from two carriages under one head, which resist tipping along the stroke so pins enter housings square.
Check six things before committing: form (complete set, not carriage only), 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, two carriages on a 320 mm rail, preload C, and P precision accuracy with bottom-mount fixing. Preload C suits a stage that must not wobble under cutting or measuring forces, but your mounting faces need to be ground or finish-milled to hold it, and the higher drag shortens the practical re-grease interval. If the load is substantial or cantilevered, step up to LSH: that series publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can actually size against, which LRM does not. For short travel needing crossed-roller rigidity, look across to LGC. Confirm the load rating with us before ordering - we will pull the figure for this configuration.
Quick checklist
It is a complete set: 12 mm wide stainless rail, 320 mm long, carrying two standard-length carriages, with medium preload (C), P precision accuracy and bottom-mount rail fixing. Tighten the M3 rail screws to 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron or 98 N.cm in aluminium. Keep ambient temperature at or below 80 C, peaking no higher than 100 C, and re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model - ask us before ordering.
Take LRM when the envelope is small and the duty light: this 12 mm, two-carriage set is precise and compact, and size 12 makes up the great majority of our stock, so it ships fastest. Move to LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered - LSH publishes per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings you can size against, which LRM does not, so with LRM we confirm the figures for you. For short travel demanding crossed-roller rigidity, LGC is the alternative. In every case, send the RFQ and we will confirm capacity before you order.
