BiPolar or Unipolar.

I've heard that one of these motors will fit in my mount.

What does bipolar and unipolar mean. What I'm worried about is that the existing motor is 2 ohms. This new one is 2.8 ohms unipolar which is pretty close but 5.6ohms bipolar. We don't want to burn out the control box, just swap motors.

I'm guessing there are twin windings in the motor and how you wire those windings up is either uni or bi. Correct?
