Actuator systems and methods for controlling aerodynamic control surfaces of aircraft including a first actuator receiving a first input and a first linear translation element that moves based thereon, the first linear translation element operably connected to a first portion of the control surface. A first sensor assembly is disposed relative to the first actuator that generates an output based on a displacement of the first translation element. A second actuator receives a second input and a second linear translation element moves based on the second input, the second linear translation element operably connected to a second portion of the control surface. A second sensor assembly is disposed relative to the second actuator that generates a second sensor output based on a displacement of the second translation element. A controller generates the inputs and receives the sensor outputs to determine if an error condition exists for the system.
