This disclosure describes a micromechanical device comprising a first device part and a second device part. One of the first and second device parts is a mobile rotor and the other of the first and second device parts is a fixed stator. The micromechanical device further comprises a motion limiter which extends from the first device part to the second device part. The motion limiter comprises an elongated lever, and the motion limiter is configured to bring a stopper into contact with a counter-structure by rotating the elongated lever.
