The AirTAC Airtac LRM Miniature Linear Guide LRM12N2X95S10BP 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 LRM12N2X95S10BP combines the two tightest options on this rail: P precision accuracy and B light preload, on a complete set built around a 95 mm stainless-steel rail that is 12 mm wide, carrying two standard carriages with top-mount fixing. It leaves us assembled and pre-greased, ready for a ground or finish-milled seat.
Handling is where miniature guides are won or lost: the ball retainer holds the ISO 3290 G10 Japanese-made balls captive, yet the maker warns that tilting the carriage onto a rail, or swapping it in a hurry, can still drop balls - a dummy rail is the careful way to service a spare. Store any unused set flat, coated with rust-preventive oil and sealed in its bag, away from heat and humidity. Never strike the rail; hidden dents shorten accuracy and life without visible marks. Standard and long LRM12 carriages share this rail profile, and the double-lip seal plus outer cover keep the raceway clean. Ambient must stay at or below 80 C, briefly to 100 C - keep it clear of oven doors and laser heads. Load and moment ratings are not published for LRM; we confirm them per model when you submit 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 scanning camera darts back and forth over populated boards; the light preload lets the servo reverse sharply without the carriage lagging or drifting.
The edge-sensor sled shifts across a 95 mm rail to follow different label web widths; P accuracy keeps the sensor position repeatable between changeovers.
Two carriages carry the driver bridge across fastener positions; the twin-block layout keeps the bit perpendicular to the part at both ends of the stroke.
Compare honestly before buying: LSH, the larger series, publishes the per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings that let you calculate margins with confidence - LRM has no such table, so for anything beyond light duty or with an overhung mass, LSH is the defensible choice. For short travel where crossed-roller rigidity wins, LGC is the cross-series alternative. Staying with this code, confirm: form - complete set with rail included; 12 mm rail width; standard carriage; two blocks; 95 mm rail length; preload B light; accuracy P; top-mount direction. If you will match a spare carriage later, the pairing code on the original part decides the fit - and since carriage-only stock here is only four SKUs, plan spares as special orders. Either way, the load rating for this exact SKU is confirmed with us before ordering.
Quick checklist
Use these: 12 mm rail width, 95 mm rail length, two standard carriages, preload B (light), accuracy P (precision), top-mount rail. Screw torques - M2: 58.8 N.cm steel, 39.2 N.cm cast iron, 29.4 N.cm aluminium; M3: 196, 127 and 98 N.cm. Ambient limit 80 C, transient peaks 100 C. Lubrication: ships with Kyodo Yushi PS No. 2; re-grease every 100 km of travel or every 3-6 months. What you will not find published for LRM: load, moment, running parallelism and speed - we confirm those per model, so put this SKU on an RFQ and we will reply with verified numbers.
Decide on the ratings, not the price. LSH gives you per-carriage dynamic, static and moment ratings in its catalogue, so a calculation stands on published numbers; LRM gives you a 12 mm-class miniature envelope and no published table at all, which is why every LRM order here ends with us confirming the load per model. Keep LRM for compact, light-duty precision motion like this 95 mm two-block set; take LSH when the mass is real or the load hangs off an arm; short travels wanting crossed-roller stiffness belong to LGC.
