Help - Control linear actuator speed with potentiometer

So I have two actuators, both 24 volt. One rated at max 10.5 Amp and the other rated at Max 7.7 Amp I need to control both of them in regard to speed and direction (in and out). I found this 10K ohm joystick https://minielektro.dk/mini-analog-joystick-10k-potentiometre.html So I tried to draw a simple diagram with one 10K ohm pot and a motor... but motor does not turn at all. In real life, this will be hooked up to two car batteries in series. to have the 24 volt and enough amp. I know I can use relays to switch the polarity (direction of the actuators). But with my limited knowledge, I'm stuck in finding a solution to use the joystick which have two potmeters.... should i find one with 4 potmeters, so I have one for each direction? I had a small potmeter that I tried with... but it burned up in a second
