Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for tightening a screw connection having a motor-operated screwdriver unit, wherein the angle of rotation and the torque are determined during the tightening to be able to stop the tightening process on reaching a desired tightening tension. An increase in the torque over the angle of rotation is determined by a determination device in a first tightening region and a change in the increase in the torque over the angle of rotation is determined in a second, following tightening region, with the screwdriver unit being stopped by a control device on reaching or exceeding of a maximum permitted change in the increase and/or of a change speed that is determined with reference to the increase that occurred in the first tightening region.
