Systems and methods for backlash measurement and monitoring are disclosed for an actuator having a motor end and an output end. The method may include: driving the motor end of the actuator to one endpoint; measuring, using a first sensor, a motor-end initial position value associated with the motor end; measuring, using a second sensor, an output-end initial position value associated with the output end; driving the motor end of the actuator to another endpoint; measuring a motor-end final position value using the first sensor and an output-end final position value using the second sensor; determining a backlash value based on the motor-end initial position value, output-end initial position value, motor-end final position value, and output-end final position value; generating a signal based on comparing the backlash value to a predetermined threshold; and displaying a notification indicative of an operational condition of the actuator based on the signal.
