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 lower speeds is required. Because this configuration has the
most inductance, the performance will start to degrade at higher speeds. Use
the per phase (or unipolar) current rating as the peak output current, or
multiply the bipolar current rating by 1.4 to determine the peak output current.
Parallel Connection
An 8 lead motor in a parallel configuration offers a more stable, but lower
torque at lower speeds. But because of the lower inductance, there will be
higher torque at higher speeds. 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.
