A lower rotor assembly for a torque sensor includes a lower rotor over-mold including at least one heat staking structure extending from an upper surface thereof. The lower rotor assembly further includes a lower stator integrally formed with the lower rotor over-mold as a single, unitary component. The lower rotor assembly also includes an upper stator including at least one receiving structure, where each receiving structure receives a respective heat staking structure of the lower rotor over-mold when the upper stator is coupled to the lower stator.

Lower rotor assemblies for torque sensors

A device includes a first assist shaft having a first axially extending bore, the first assist shaft engaging, via the first axially extending bore, a first end of a torsion bar. The device may include a flux carrier engaged on an end of the first assist shaft proximate the torsion bar. The device may include a second assist shaft having a second axially extending bore, the second assist shaft engaging, via the second axially extending bore, a second end of the torsion bar and connected to the first assist shaft by the torsion bar. The device may include a permanent magnet ring having an inner circumference that receives an outer circumference of the second assist shaft and the permanent magnet ring disposed in a third axially extending bore of the flux carrier. The device may include a magnetic flux sensor at least partially disposed in the flux carrier.
