The full coil configuration on a six lead motor should be used in applications where
higher torque at lower speeds is desired. This configuration is also referred to as full
copper. In full coil mode, the motors should be run at only 70% of their rated current
to prevent overheating.

Connections to 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 Connections
A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where a higher torque at
lower speeds is required. Because
this configuration has the most inductance, the performance will
start to degrade at higher speeds. In series mode, the motors
should also be run at only 70% of
their rated current to prevent overheating.
