The present invention discloses motors using electromechanical, preferably piezoelectric, elements (30). The element (30) comprises at least two movable parts or displacement portions (32A, 32B) interconnected by a passive part (31). Each displacement section (32A, 32B) comprises at least one bimorph (33A, 33B), where the active volumes extend in parallel out from the passive part (31), and so are the electrodes (12) arranged between the electromechanical layers. The displacement portions (32A, 32B) are positioned in substantially the same plane and parallel to the body (20) to be moved. Contact portions are arranged at the central passive part (31) and at the displacement portions (32A, 32B). In one embodiment, the central contact portion is an actuating surface (34C) and the other are attaching portions (36A, 36B) for attachment to a stator (24). In another embodiment, the central contact portion is an attaching portion and the other are actuating surfaces. The actuating surfaces (34C) are in both cases movable relative to the attaching portions (36A, 36B) in two dimensions.
