Here's an addendum on the Citizen coreless motors described earlier in the thread. (eBay item 191907647343)
The gear they come fitted with is steel, has 12 teeth and meshes with a 100DP gear. The gear is easy to remove with a 0.95mm dia. punch, provided you can grip it strongly. It's a press fit but I wouldn't describe it as an interference fit. Behind the gear are 2 washers and it appears the gear or something like it is absolutely necessary to control the motor shaft end float.
Looking at the motor, it's definitely not suitable for mounting a worm on. The shaft only projects about 1mm beyond the motor body and it's 0.97mm diameter. However, the front bearing looks pretty strong so anything involving a side-thrust or avoiding end thrust would be fine, i.e. gear, pulley or u/j connection.
I can't see any easy way to press on a replacement gear or pulley so a sliding fit with Loctite or similar will be needed.
The motor body has a 5.5mm mounting thread so the 2mm Scale Association's Maxon and Faulhaber motor mounting bush part number 3-261 would suit this motor.
Can dimensions are 24.6mm long, 9.95mm diameter. The M5.5 mounting thread projects 2mm beyond the main body. Taking the prefitted connecting wires into account, the motor needs about 30mm in length to accomodate it, so that points towards a larger tender. Weight is 11 grams which is useful and points towards a substantial build quality.
As suggested earlier, a "top-hat" type of adapter which accurately cups the gear is an alternative way to get a drive connection. The 12 tooth gear is 3mm overall diameter.
For the price being charged, I think they are definitely worth considering.
Mark.
