There are plastic gears inside the following motors:
Bosch Power Sliding Door Motor
Denso Window Motor
Fisher Price motors w/off the shelf transmission
In the right application, the plastic will cause you no problems whatever. In the wrong application, the plastic will break.
The above two statements are also true if you replace the word "plastic" with the word "metal"
More to the point of the thread, I like the idea of using the Bosch motor to drive a conveyor. One thing I love about the Bosch motor (in addition to the relatively high power rating and the relatively slow speed and high torque) is that you can use a standard 11mm trantorque (from McMaster: part number 2298K7).
In order to drive something (a gear, a pulley, or whatever) is a 22.5mm hole (preferrably in metal not plastic or wood).
For me, it is the easiest way to get the torque out of the Bosch motor.
