I have a couple of E30-400 Amplfow motors, which demand up to 24V and 29A. The thing about these motors, though, is they require a mechanical speed reducer to operate them safely at such a wattage. I figure that you can safely operate these motors (without a speed reducer) at 12V 20A. I intend to drive these motors with car batteries but I'd rather not have them operate much beyond 20A. So to reduce power consumption, I got the TLE5205-2 which can drive motors at 12V 5A. I figured if that's too weak, I can just put 2 of them in parallel.
The problem is, the motors demand so much current that the TLE5205-2 triggers its overcurrent protector. I'm not that great with electronics, so my idea was to either somehow make the motors less demanding or to reduce the incoming amperage to the TLE5205-2 to maybe 7A. I'm not sure how to do either. Considering the motors are allowed to operate at 12V and the TLE5205-2 supports up to 40V, I wouldn't mind converting the amperage to voltage, if that helps, but I'm not sure how to do that either.
