If you need higher torque output

at lower speeds, connect

me in a full coil configuration.

For higher torque output

at higher speeds use the

half coil configuration!

NOTE: Typically step motor current ratings are unipolar for 8 and 6

lead motors.

NOTE: If bipolar series current is given, multiply by 1.4 to determine

the peak output current.

An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration yields more torque at higher

speeds than the same motor wired in series. Multiply the per phase (or

unipolar) current rating by 1.96, or the bipolar current rating by 1.4

to determine the peak output current.

The full coil configuration on a 6 lead motor should be used in

applications where higher torque at lower speeds is desired. This

configuration is also referred to as full copper. Use the per phase (or

unipolar) current rating as the peak output current.
