To reword this explanation: Windings with fewer turns of THICKER wire [in a
stepper motor] can permit faster stepping with lower voltage, but higher
current. Windings with MORE turns (thinner wire) mean you will have lower
current, but higher voltage (to maintain force at low speeds), but the
higher
inductance means only slower stepping is possible.

------------------------------
First off, thanks for the well worded and completely understandable
explaination. I am a software guy by education and my understanding
of EE stuff is severely limited!

So, this is the explanation as to why you see a series of motors from
a manufacturer with the same torque rating, but one will have a
low amp rating and the other will have a high amp rating.

Now, can some of the slowness of running in series be
compensated by using a higher voltage?

Thanks again,
George
