Inverted nozzle fixture and method

A device for clamping a fluidic component which is subjected to a fluctuating fluid pressure, said fluidic component having a downstream end, an opposite upstream end and an outer contour, said device comprising

• a holder having a downstream end and an opposite upstream end and an inner contour, wherein in a partially assembled state the fluidic component is arranged inside the holder and wherein the downstream end of the fluidic component is supported by the downstream end of the holder,
• an elastomeric shaped part having a downstream end and an opposite upstream end and an inner contour and an outer contour, wherein the inner contour of the elastomeric shaped part is configured to enclose and contact the outer contour of the fluidic component, and
• a mating part adapted to be secured to the upstream end of the holder, wherein the mating part has an downstream end and an opposite upstream end and an outer contour, wherein the outer contour of the mating part is adapted to the inner contour of the holder, and wherein the mating part comprises at least one projection, and wherein the at least one projection projects into the holder and contacts and deforms the elastomeric shaped part, wherein
• the elastomeric shaped part comprises at least one compensating surface that, prior to the assembled state, defines a hollow space between the at least one compensating surface and at least the holder at the downstream end of the elastomeric shaped part or the at least one compensating surface comprises an internal compensating volume within the elastomeric shaped part into which the elastomeric shaped part expands in the assembled state, and wherein the at least one compensating surface in the assembled state does not contact the mating part or the at least one projection of the mating part.
