Subject: Are there any stepper like motors in the 1/4 hp to 1/2 hp range?

What is the inherent disadvantage if any to a stepper style motor scaled up
to
the 1/4 hp to 1/2 hp range. Using 16 to 24 NdFeB Disc, 1 in. x 1/4 in.
12,700
Gauss or larger magnets with and 64 to 96 coils. Is the weight prohibitive?
or
some factor I haven't considered?

Thanks in advance.
Robert
