It is well known that larger motors almost HAVE to have higher inductance
than smaller ones, (current ratings being within sight of each other). Remember
that the rating of all stepper motors is HOLDING torque, ie. torque at ZERO
speed! The more inductance in the windings, the faster the torque curve
drops toward zero. Are you sure you are using the right current setting for
the larger motors?
