Actually, the "mechanisms" are more than likely fine.  The drive electronics (circuit board on the back) are what's been damaged.

To revive the drive, you will need to find an identical drive (same exact brand / model / size) and borrow the board from it.  It should be easy to swap if done carefully, usually just a few screws.  Once you get your old drive going, you can get off the data or just keep using it -- it will be the same as the drive that donated the board, anyway.

When somebody doesn't fry them with wrong voltage, most drive failures are mechanical -- so with some luck you could source the board from another non-working drive.
i'd second that is the drive removeable from the enclosure?
