You could try model railway point motors.
These are generally quite small and come in two distinct types:
The solenoid type which move a bar side to side:
or the:
Motor, 'Tortoise' type, which are very slow and very contolled, but a bit on the large side.
Failing that try 'Memory wire'.
This is a wire which contracts when a current is passed through it if memory serves me.
Might be ideal for popping up gear doors etc.
