The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X345S10BP 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 LRM12N2X345S10BP combines the two qualities buyers most often ask for together: precision accuracy grade P and light preload grade B, on a 12 mm wide stainless-steel rail 345 mm long with two standard recirculating-ball carriages. It is a top-mount set, so the fixing screws go in from above on an open machine bed, and the S10 code fixes the end-hole offset at 10 mm.
Inside each carriage, Japanese-made balls graded ISO 3290 G10 - a grade for the balls only - recirculate through races sealed by a double-lip seal, with an outer cover shielding the seal strip and hiding the screws. Every LRM12 carriage shares the same rail profile, so a future change of carriage length does not force a rail change. The ambient ceiling is 80 C with brief peaks to 100 C - a real constraint next to heaters, ovens or lasers. The manufacturer publishes no load or moment rating for LRM; send the RFQ and we will confirm the figures for this exact configuration.

Feeding lead frames into a compact bonder is a light, short-travel job where precision accuracy P pays off in placement repeatability - exactly the envelope the LRM series was drawn for.
A small optical film or label web needs an edge-guide roller that shifts laterally with minimal overshoot. Light preload B damps play while precision accuracy keeps the guide line true.
A benchtop assembly cell placing connectors can use this rail as a light vertical column. Two carriages on one rail help against tipping, and we confirm the exact ratings for your column weight before you order.
The honest sizing route: LSH when the load is real enough to need published dynamic, static and moment figures (LRM publishes none), LGC when travel is short and crossed-roller rigidity wins. This BP set suits jobs that want precision accuracy combined with a little preload - a combination worth checking against the shelf before settling for stock H grade. Run the checklist: complete set, 12 mm rail, standard carriage, two blocks, 345 mm rail, preload B light, P accuracy, top-mount direction, and a per-model load rating confirmed through our RFQ before you commit the design.
Quick checklist
You can rely on: 12 mm rail width, 345 mm rail length, two standard carriages, light preload B, precision accuracy P, top-mount mounting. Screw torques run 196 N.cm (steel), 127 N.cm (cast iron) and 98 N.cm (aluminium) for M3, and 58.8 / 39.2 / 29.4 N.cm for M2. The ambient ceiling is 80 C with transient peaks to 100 C; re-greasing falls due every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. Basic dynamic load, static load and moment ratings are not published for LRM - we confirm them per model through the RFQ.
It is a complete set: one 12 mm stainless-steel rail, 345 mm long, with both standard carriages fitted and pre-greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2. Besides your mounting base and screws, nothing else is needed to create a working axis - though surfaces should be ground or finish-milled for the rated travel accuracy, and the mounting-surface values in the datasheet apply per size. Bottom-mount versions and carriage-only codes exist in the range but are separate SKUs.
