For the torque involved, heat shrink tubing would probably work as a repair coupler, or rubber hose.
That motor is typically what is used in fans.
But that one is old, the cloth ribbon and paperboard insulation says 1960's or earlier...
It is really an overgrown clock motor...
They were common and cheap, they got used in all kinds of things, so a can opener isn't impossible, the gearbox parts look like about the right speed reduction....
You will not get that shaft out of the motor without destroying the motor, the inner laminations are pressed over it, it holds the rotor together...
Plan B: Hit the flea for old can openers ;P
Even if the parts don't match, it is about the right speed I would think (a few revoloutions a second)...
You will have to mount gearbox parts in a new places tho....
