Parallel Connection
An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration offers a more stable, but lower
torque at lower speeds. Because of the lower inductance there will be
higher torque at higher speeds.

8 Lead Motors
8 lead motors offer a high degree of flexibility to the system designer in
that they may be connected in series or parallel, thus satisfying a wide range
of applications.
Series Connection
A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where
a higher torque at low speeds is needed. Because this configuration has the
most inductance, the performance will start to degrade at higher speeds.
