Embodiments herein are directed to steering position rotary sensors including a housing defining an internal cavity, a center shaft extending through the housing, and a gear coupled to the center shaft, wherein the gear is positioned off-center relative to a central rotational axis extending through the center shaft. The steering position rotary sensor may further include a magnet coupled to the gear, a first Hall effect sensor positioned adjacent the gear and concentric with the magnet, and a second Hall effect sensor positioned adjacent the center shaft and concentric with the central rotational axis, wherein the first Hall effect sensor and the second Hall effect sensor are separated by a magnetic shield.

Steering position rotary sensor assembly

A wire overmold device including a carrier body having a distal end and a proximal end, a wire cap configured to engage the distal end of the carrier body, at least one of a jacketed cable and one or more wires at least partially enclosed between the wire cap and the carrier body, and an overmold formed over the proximal end of the carrier body and at least portions of the wire cap and the distal end of the carrier body, wherein the wire cap and the distal end of the carrier body protrude from the overmold.
