In a voice coil motor (VCM) of a disk drive, a coined feature formed on a ferromagnetic plate reduces magnetic flux leakage from a disk drive without increasing the weight of the drive or adding complexity to the manufacturing process. The coined feature is shaped and positioned to alter the path of magnetic flux lines produced by the VCM in a way that significantly reduces the flux leakage from the VCM. The coined feature may be formed without adding material to the ferromagnetic plate by the same stamping process used to fabricate the plate.
