A failsafe bar connection of a screw actuator includes a failsafe bar for transmitting load via a secondary load path, the failsafe bar having a bar-end with a convex thrust surface; and an attachment part for coupling load to an aircraft structure, the attachment part having a socket for retention of the bar-end, the socket providing a concave thrust surface. A contact mechanism is provided to monitor relative displacement of the convex thrust surface within the concave thrust surface in a direction along an axis of the attachment part. In this way, changes in backlash and loading of the secondary load path can be detected. The contact mechanism comprises a protuberance extending from the bar-end along the main rotational axis of the failsafe bar and a displaceable contact surface provided by a displaceable member in the attachment part, the relative position of which is monitored by a displacement sensor.
