A system (40) for controlling the movement of an aircraft engine cowl door includes an actuator assembly (26) having a housing (60) and a screw shaft (68) arranged at least partially within a hollow interior of the housing (60). The screw shaft (68) is rotatable about an axis relative to the housing (60). A transmission system is coupled to the screw shaft (68) to impart rotation to the screw shaft (68) about the axis. A nut (80) is engaged with the screw shaft (68) and a piston rod (82) having a rod end mounted thereto connects the nut (80) to the cowl door (24) of the engine. The nut (80) is translatable relative to the screw shaft (68) to transition the cowl door between a first position and a second position.
