A vibration driven motor including a vibration member for generating a vibration therein, a rotor arranged in frictional contact with the vibration member and driven by the vibration, a rotary output member, and a connection member connecting the rotor to the output member. The connection member includes a bent portion that is deformed in an axial direction on the rotary output member. In another aspect a connection member having a bent portion may be provided for engaging the vibration member at a predetermined portion. In each case, the bent portion(s) of the connection member absorbs any change in the dimensions thereof, e.g., due to a change in the temperature or other environmental factors.
