摘要

Provided is a shipping comb (160) for moving an actuator (130) of a hard disk drive, the actuator including a swing arm (132) installed on a base member of the hard disk drive capable of pivoting, at least a pair of load beams (141) coupled to an end portion of the swing arm, and at least a pair of sliders (144) respectively coupled to the load beams to face each other. The shipping comb (160) includes a frame (161) coupled to the actuator capable of pivoting, a first finger (163) provided at the frame and maintaining an interval between the load beams by being inserted between the load beams, and a second finger (164) provided at the frame and preventing collision between the sliders by being inserted between the sliders.
