A drive mechanism and an imaging device according to the present invention each include: an ultrasonic linear actuator 4 provided with a rod 42 that moves reciprocally in response to expansion/contraction of a piezoelectric element 41; and a first group unit 2 serving as an example of a moving body that engages with the rod 42 with a prescribed frictional force. The moving body (first group unit 2) is provided with a holding member 24, a pressing member 30 or other member that engages with the rod 42 in such a way that fluctuation in the frictional force is suppressed, and drive performance is stabilized. As a consequence, the drive mechanism and the imaging device according to the present invention can suppress fluctuation in the frictional force (gripping force) of the moving body in the ultrasonic linear actuator 4, making it possible to stabilize drive performance. |
