Industrial R-12268 Air Oil Separator Element Replacement Part

The R-12268 Air/Oil Separator Element is a genuine OEM replacement cartridge for Bauer/Rotocomp air compressors, designed to sit inside the air/oil separator housing to perform fine separation of oil from the compressed air and route oil back to the reservoir. Cataloged as R-12268, this element is offered by the original equipment manufacturer as well as aftermarket suppliers. It is used in Bauer/Rotocomp equipment, including Rotorcomp RC-series compressors, to maintain clean air output and minimize oil carryover. You can find the R-12268 designation on retailer pages such as US Compressor's Talon replacement listing and Canadacompressorparts' product pages, which also show a direct replacement role for Bauer/Rotorcomp separators. Rotorcomp's product literature for air treatment and separator components describes the system as enabling oil separation and oil recovery within the separator module, reinforcing the cartridge's role as the replaceable element in the separation stage. When installing, follow the manufacturer's service instructions for handling, replacement, and resealing to ensure an air-tight seal and proper operation.
