An extruder die clamp having arcuate clamping members engageable with oppositely tapered flanges on a die adapter and on the end of an extruder cylinder thus to form a fluidtight joint around the registering extruder and adapter openings. The clamp has parallel pivots at one end of the clamping members which are adjustable toward or away from each other to adjust clamping pressure when the toggle linkage at the other end of said members is actuated to clamping position, and has an equalizer link associated with the toggle linkage to maintain substantial symmetry of the clamping members as the clamp is opened. Also, the clamp is mounted on the extruder so that it may float radially for self-centering action and axially as the clamping members are drawn together against the beveled flanges of the die adapter and the extruder.
