Near-resonance electromechanical motor

An electromechanical motor, comprising:

• stator, having a driving element and a backbone portion;
• body to be moved in a main displacement direction by said driving element;
• resilient means arranged to apply a normal force between said driving element and said body;
• said driving element in turn comprising:
• a first and a second bending section, generally elongated along said main displacement direction, connected in series to each other in said main displacement direction;
• said first and said second bending section each having a first and a second portion interconnected along said main displacement portion and essentially parallel to a drive surface of said body;
• said first portion being an active electromechanical element presenting a dimension changeability in said main displacement direction;
• and
• drive pad arranged to actuate on said body and arranged at a point close to the center of said driving element;
• whereby one of said backbone and said resilient means is arranged to restrict translational motion of said driving element away from said body perpendicular to said main displacement direction, but allow translational motion of said driving element towards said body perpendicular to said main displacement direction.
