The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X770S10AH 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.
At 770 mm, this LRM12 set is a long rail by miniature-guide standards - the catalogue's full-length size 12 rail is 1005 mm, so this is close to the longest single piece you would specify in the series. The order code breaks down as two standard carriages on a 12 mm stainless rail, fixing holes 10 mm from each end, preload A and accuracy H, mounted from above.
A rail this length rewards careful installation: the mounting face should be ground or finish-milled, either edge can serve as the datum, and working from the datum face while checking straightness along the full length as you torque down preserves travel quality. Two carriages sharing that span hold a carried part level against tipping along the travel. The carriages run on Japanese ISO 3290 G10 balls (a grade for the balls only), sealed by double lips under an outer cover, and the assembly must stay at or below 80 C ambient - 100 C only in brief peaks. Store any spare flat, oiled and bagged, away from heat and humidity. As with every LRM model, load and moment ratings are not published; send the RFQ and we will confirm them for this set.

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 traveling screwdriver spindle on a 770 mm bed reaches several fastening positions from one axis, the twin blocks keeping the head square to the work.
Light sorting fingers or reject tabs cycling along a long miniature rail benefit from free-running preload A motion to keep cycle times honest.
Feeding component leads through a forming die along a 770 mm bed is a light, straight push that a 12 mm twin-carriage rail handles smoothly.
Because the stocked price range of LRM sets - roughly $66 to $831 - is driven mainly by rail length and block count on just two widths, a 770 mm two-carriage set sits toward the upper end; cutting travel is the first cost lever. Sizing-wise, LRM gives you no load table, so if the payload is heavy, offset or cantilevered, step up to LSH and use its published per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity matters, LGC is the cross-over choice. Confirm before ordering: set form, 12 mm rail width, standard carriage length, two blocks, 770 mm rail, preload A, H accuracy, top-mount direction - and confirm the load rating with us.
Quick checklist
Here it is in one place: 12 mm rail width, 770 mm rail length, two standard-length carriages, top-mount fixing with holes 10 mm from the rail ends, preload A (none), accuracy grade H. Screw torque for M3 fasteners is 196 N.cm in steel, 127 N.cm in cast iron, 98 N.cm in aluminium. Ambient ceiling is 80 C, with transients to 100 C. The carriages arrive greased with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2 and need re-greasing every 100 km of travel or every 3 to 6 months. One deliberate gap: LRM publishes no load, moment, parallelism or speed ratings, so we confirm those for this exact model before you order.
It depends on the load path, and only you can tell us that on the RFQ. LRM gives you a slim 12 mm stainless rail, smooth ISO 3290 G10 ball running and a compact envelope, but the series publishes no load or moment table to check against. LSH does publish per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings, so for a heavy or overhung payload it is the series you can actually calculate with. For short travels needing crossed-roller stiffness, LGC is worth a look. Send the payload, spans and duty cycle and we will confirm whether this 770 mm set fits.
