For the phenolic (there are also many other good rotor materials you can
find at McMaster Carr, such as Gp03, which are alot cheaper) and hubs check
out http://www.mcmaster-dot-com/ do a search for motor arbors for the hubs, and
phenolic or whatever on their page.

I think that you would be best off using this one. 1/3 horse is plenty to
spin up most rotors and stay cool. Also little bits of runout etc. from the
machining of your rotary are much less noticable and problematic at lower
RPMs like 1725 and 1800 (if your modifying this for synchronous operation
that is), than they are at 3000+ RPM. FLA stands for Fully Loaded Amps.

You may be able to use it, depending on the weight of your rotor.
