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.
Parallel Configuration
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.
6 Lead Motor
Full Coil Configuration
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.

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!
