ABSTRACT:
An actuator crash stopper of the hard disk drive having a base for mounting all the components of the hard disk drive. An actuator stopper is provided on one side of the actuator adjacent to the pivot of the actuator so as to act as an inner and outer crash stopper at both inner and outer rotation limits of the actuator, thereby preventing the actuator from being rotated beyond the limits. A stopper guide is vertically fixed on the base so as to be engaged with the actuator stopper at the limits when the actuator rotates on the pivot.
