Full Coil Configurations
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.

8.3 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.
8.3.1
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.
