Didn't look very hard, did you? Just put "MCG" into Google,
and you get back "MCG - Electric Motors, DC, Brushless, and
Step Motors".

You have an MCG brush-type motor with a tachometer generator
for feedback. Voltage from the tachometer leads is proportional
to RPM. You can get an encoder for it, but it doesn't have one.
The current part equivalent may be the MCG ID23008. Does it
look like this?

Those are good motors. But the only feedback output gets you
speed, not position.
