Figure 24.
Parallel Stepper Motor Wiring (Higher Speed, Lower Torque)
Notice that an 8-wire motor wired in series is virtually identical to a
6-wire motor and typically has the same high-torque but low-speed
characteristics. While a parallel configuration is not possible with a
6-wire motor, high-speed performance can usually be obtained with the
half-coil connection shown in Figure 25. This configuration sacrifices
low-speed torque for better high-speed performance. With this
configuration, it is typically not possible to produce the rated torque of
the motor without the risk of the motor overheating because only half of
the windings are being used.
