An actuator assembly (100) includes an actuator body (140), a ram (170), and a cross pin (180). The actuator body has an internal axial cavity (141) bounded by an actuator body wall (143) and defines a pivot axis (P). A longitudinal slot (148A, 148B) extends along a portion of the length of the actuator body wall and is in communication with the internal axial cavity. The ram is slidably received within the axial cavity of the actuator body. The cross pin is mounted to the ram and extends laterally from the ram and into the longitudinal slot for converting linear motion of the ram into rotational motion about the pivot axis for displacing a control surface (20) of an air vehicle (10).
