The hydraulic cylinder gland (also called cylinder head, rod gland, or end gland) is a critical component located at the rod end of a hydraulic cylinder.

Sealing: Contains primary rod seals to prevent pressurized hydraulic fluid from leaking along the piston rod.
Guidance: Integrates a wear band or bushing to support the piston rod, absorb side loads, and reduce metal-to-metal friction.
Contamination control: Holds a wiper / dust seal to remove dirt, moisture, and debris from the rod surface during retraction.
Structural closure: Forms the front end closure of the cylinder barrel and provides mounting or connection points.
