To keep the hydraulic fluid in (double acting cylinders) and to keep dirt/washwater/etc out.
Air cylinder or air rams consists of a tube with a sealed base, a piston attached to a rod and a gland to seal the tube and rod where the rod exits the barrel. This assembly is called the cylinder or ram. The ram is ported in the top and bottom to allow pressurized air to enter and exit the cylinder. This moves the piston which is attached to the rod and created the movement. Cylinders are usually stationary at one end and the rod is attached to a moving part. This is called a double-acting cylinder because pressurized air can be let into both sides of the cylinder to create movement. A single-acting cylinder relies on gravity to extend or retract it as it is only ported on either the top or bottom side of the cylinder.
Hydraulic cylinders can be tested dynamically by connecting the test cylinder with a master cylinder mounted within a rigid frame structure. Usually the test cylinder is operated with a hydraulic power source and the master cylinder is loaded with relief and check valves connected to the ports. Such back to back test loads the total cylinder components including the Rod, tube, Gland ,seals ,mounting parts etc and can reveal many parameters which cannot be seen in the conventional end to end load test. Similar set up can be also used for life cycle test extending to millions of full load cycles.
There is no such thing as "hydraulic cylinder jacks". Hydraulic cylinder is different from hydraulic jacks. A hydraulic cylinder is a linear actuator used for converting fluid energy to an output force in a linear direction for performing various jobs. These include: pulling or pushing in engineering applications such as in machine tools, earth moving equipments, construction equipments and space applications. Jacks are portable devices used for raising heavy objects by means of force applied with a lever or screw. The hydraulic jacks are compact and lightweight units that are used for lifting capacities. They offer easy operation and are fast acting components. The hydraulic jacks come with inbuilt release pedal for rapid lowering and lugs that make it easy to mount. The heavy duty chassis prevents the jack from twisting or bending and foot pump provides fast lift to the load. It also has a safety overload valve that prevents overloading beyond rated capacity.
by using a non-compressible fluid, it acts like a solid push-rod.

You should notice a couple of things on purchasing an hydraulic cylinder, Bore Diameter: The diameter of the cylinder bore. Maximum operating pressure: The lowest working pressure is referred to as max. Operating pressure. Rod Diameter: Piston Diameter Type of Cylinder: Types of cylinder are ram cylinder, tie-rod cylinder and welded cylinder. Stroke: The travel distance of a cylinder is referred as stroke.
It could be some sort of liquid in the cylinder. It will cause it to hydraulic and bend rods.

The tyre pump cylinder has a cup shaped non-return valve/seal connected to the actuator rod. When the rod is withdrawn from the cylinder the valve opens and air enters. When the actuator is pushed into the cylinder the valve closes, sealing the actuator plate against the inside of the cylinder, compressing the air in the cylinder and forcing it into the tyre.
ill fit my rod into your cylinder
The rod aids in the decanting process. That is the purpose of the rod.
When looking under the dash area at the clutch pedal assy., you should be able to see the pedal arm pulling a cable or pushing a rod or piston into a hydraulic cylinder. If it isn't clear at that point, you can check the transmission to see if there is a cable or hydraulic lines going to the bell-housing area.

basically cylinders are fitted with the pistons used in the engine of a motor vehicle. these pistons are been used for the combustion of the fuel and its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. In a pump, the function is reversed and force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or ejecting the fluid in the cylinder. In some engines, the piston also acts as a valve by covering and uncovering ports in the cylinder wall.
The most common cylinder configuration is double acting, Figure 1. Routing pressurized fluid into the rod end of a double-acting cylinder causes the piston rod to retract. Conversely, routing pressurized fluid into the cap end causes the rod to extend. Simultaneously, fluid on the opposite side of the piston flows back into the hydraulic reservoir. (If air is the fluid medium, it usually is vented to the atmosphere.)Because the area of the rod-end piston face is smaller than the cap-end area, extension force is greater than retraction force (assuming equal fluid pressures). Because total cylinder volume is less with the cylinder fully retracted (because of rod volume) than when the cylinder is fully extended, a cylinder retracts faster than it extends (assuming equal flow rates).
If you just replaced the clutch and pressure plate, the only "little rod" I can think of is in the slave cylinder. It is what pushes the fork in to disengage the clutch. If you did not put it in, you should not be able to shift or engage the clutch. The slave cylinder should blow out the seal when you step on the clutch pedal. The rod is about the diameter of a pencil and 2 inches long more or less?
