True industrial step motors would have the endurance and I'd think one from a printer or drive would be worth a try. A hard drive spin motor is certainly rated for continuous operation, but would need to be geared down a lot, I was thinking about the step motors used for head positioning on CD drives and some floppies.
I have an extra step motor driver board (they're cheap these days) that would just need a digital signal at the correct frequency. You can have it if you decide to go the step motor route. I can build up a circuit with a 555 IC to drive it. I may even have a step motor that I don't need.
