Indeed you are right DFP, so maybe disassemble a bucket load of cheap tape measures?
Um... can't think of a specific supplier for mechanisms itself.
Not "motors"as such, but how about taking springs from the ends old blinds and projector screens those reel back with a good force and usually have a catch mechanism too.
