The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X395S10APT 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.
LRM12N2X395S10APT combines the two options a measurement machine usually wants: accuracy grade P on a bottom-mount rail. In the box is a single 395 mm stainless-steel rail, 12 mm wide, with two standard-length recirculating-ball carriages pre-filled with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2, tapped for screws that enter from below the rail.
Rail length, not rail width, is what moves the price in this range - stocked LRM sets run from about $66 to $831 across only two rail widths - so a 395 mm rail is a deliberate mid-length spend, and size 12 is the best-stocked size by far, with over 900 of the roughly 988 stocked sets. The carriages share one common rail profile, so a like-for-like replacement carriage fits this rail; the balls are ISO 3290 G10 grade, Japanese made, tied to the balls alone. Do not exceed 80 C ambient, and watch transient peaks at 100 C. Load and moment ratings are not published for the series - we confirm them for this exact set via 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 comparator slide mounted beneath a machined plate on a granite surface-plate assembly, where bottom-mount holes let the rail hang with no fasteners showing on the working face.
A short-travel shuttle indexing JEDEC chip trays past a camera in a semiconductor back-end line, running precision grade P for consistent indexing position at each stop.
The motorized focus axis of a digital slide scanner, where a light optical head must settle on each field; accuracy P and a low-friction ball circuit help the servo hold position.
In this range the price is driven far more by rail length than by rail width, so trimming travel is the first cost lever, and 395 mm already sits mid-way along the stocked span of 40 to 995 mm. Availability is strongest in size 12: most of the roughly 988 stocked sets are LRM12, so this configuration is normally on the shelf rather than on order. If sizing points beyond light duty, step up to LSH for its published dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage; for short travel needing crossed-roller stiffness, look at LGC.
Confirm before ordering: set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, two carriages, 395 mm rail length, preload A (none), accuracy P, bottom-mount direction, and a per-model load and moment rating from us by RFQ.
Quick checklist
Confirm the configuration: 12 mm rail width, 395 mm rail length, two standard-length carriages, preload A (none), precision accuracy P, and bottom-mount holes that need a machined tapped pattern on the underside of your seat. Fit with M2 screws at 58.8 N.cm into steel (39.2 cast iron, 29.4 aluminium) or M3 screws at 196 N.cm into steel (127 cast iron, 98 aluminium). The 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. Basic dynamic, static and moment ratings are not published for LRM, so we will confirm the figures for this model - route that through the RFQ.
Pick this LRM12 set when the envelope is small and the duty is light: it gives a 12 mm rail, 395 mm long, two standard carriages and precision grade P in the smallest footprint of AirTAC's guide range. Move to LSH when the load is substantial or cantilevered, because LSH publishes dynamic, static and moment ratings per carriage that you can design against, while LRM publishes none and we confirm each model individually. If the travel is short and stiffness matters more than reach, an LGC crossed-roller guide is the cross-over to compare. Send the RFQ either way and we will confirm the right model and its rating.
