A power-wrench bolting spindle (1) is used to insert and tighten screws or nuts. The bolting spindle is driven at one end by a motor through a reduction gear (5) and at its other end a bolting tool is seated. A torque sensor (7) is mounted between the motor and the spindle. During bolting, other essential data besides the bolting torque are ascertained. The bolting spindle is equipped with a depth sensor (24) connected to the regulating circuit to measure the depth of bolting. An angular-speed sensor is connected to the regulating circuit and measures the motor or spindle angular speed. The bolting procedure is carried out in two operational stages separated by a pause, namely an application stage (L) and a tightening stage (Z). Each of these operational stages terminates when a specific shutdown bolting torque is reached. Due to the control by the depth sensor, the bolting angular speed is lowered from its initial value when approaching the application stage to a final value which, when the shutdown bolting torque is reached, allows stopping without overloading.
