A system that improves on known systems for reducing output torque by a motor in the event of a jam may include an electromechanical actuator (EMA), a motor configured to drive the EMA and a controller. The controller may be coupled to the motor and configured to receive a speed of the EMA and a position of the EMA. The controller may be further configured to determine whether a jam of the EMA is imminent or is occurring according to the EMA speed, EMA position, and a known range of motion of the EMA, and to provide an input signal to the motor to reduce a torque of the motor if a jam of the EMA is imminent or is occurring.
