The present disclosure includes the use of a smart load cell in a system for controlling an electromechanical actuator. A load cell may be positioned along the outer surface of the electromechanical actuator. Further, the load cell may utilize strain gages and a microcontroller. The load cell may be configured to transmit data to an electric brake actuator controller which includes calibration for operating temperature of the electromechanical actuator.
