You can use a different power motors in the same mechanism easily without any problems, as long as you match the free speed to within a few percent of each other. For example, if Motor A is 10,000 rpm and motor B is 5,000 rpm and you want to use them in the same gearbox, simply gear down Motor A 2:1 before you interface it with Motor B.
