Can somebody identify the electric motors (I assume they are COTS) used in this device:
Thinking of a different more conventional application.

Brushless, sensorless, "outrunner" motors as used in model aviation. They look a bit short and fat to be the usual big outrunner (short & fat = more torque for the weight, if less power), so they may be special order or cut-down from larger motors. But maybe not.
Try Plettenburg, Axi, eFlight, or just search on "brushless outrunner".
I know that Maxon Motors makes some very small examples of these, but they're very wimpy compared to the usual model aviation motor of the same size.
brushless outrunner, plenty to choose from here:

Thanks for the replies. Lots of data to absorb ...

I don't think that these are big enough to be the motors used, but the aspect ratio is similar
