In order to put a legal motor on the device, the two things that need to match are the mechanical connection and the speed. If you can determine what the necessary motor speed is, then you're halfway there. For most of the other half, pull the existing motor and figure out what kind of pinion gear, or keying, or flat you need to use in order to drive the rest of the actuator. You should be able to drill some well-placed holes in an adapter plate to mount an appropriate motor where the original one was.

It's a worm gear shaft. Do any approved motors have these?
