Pin cam deflector nut
The present disclosure generally relates to extrusion die systems. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a specialty pin cam nut designed for the ease of assembly and disassembly of extrusion dies.
1. A method of applying pressure to an extrusion die sealing surface by fastening multiple extrusion die subassemblies in which a first subassembly including a deflector having a first sealing surface and a flow passage positioned adjacent the first sealing surface is fastened and loosened from a second subassembly including a second sealing surface by under one rotation of one or more of said subassemblies, wherein the fastening direction creates a sealing pressure between the first and second sealing surfaces confining flow through the flow passage and the loosening direction applies an ejection pressure.
2. The method according to claim 1 in which continued rotation in a loosening direction will eject the second subassembly from the first subassembly.
3. The method according to claim 2 in which the first subassembly is fastened to the second subassembly resulting in a third component or subassembly being retained.
4. The method according to claim 2 in which a spring is compressed during the fastening of the first subassembly to the second subassembly.
5. The method according to claim 2 in which in which the first subassembly attaches to an external surface of the second subassembly.
6. The method according to claim 2 in which the first subassembly attaches to an internal surface of the second subassembly.
