Note the ad quotes the 24 volt rpms (8400 rpm) which would be too fast for most larger scale uses..
This is a four magnet motor which is designed to run at about half the RPMs of similar size can motors. Most of these four magnet motors were designed for automotive uses, produced by the millions. When applications changed, they were dumped on the surplus market by the tens of thousands at perhaps 10% of cost, a real bargain at the moment.
FWIW another Ebay seller was selling this 24mm square motor for 10 cents more, WITHOUT the gear.
