To do what? Short of melting it, if it is made of metal. "volts" are not needed, except to cause the engine plugs to fire. Generally aircraft use a magneto to generate voltage, which is used to fire the plugs as needed to run the engine.

I assume you are referring to electrically controlled variable pitch props. Those operated at, depending on the particular airplane, 110 volts, 36 volts, to a lesser extent 28 volts, and in a very few general aviation small planes 12 volts. We are talking about aircraft from 50 years and more ago.

Some need no electricity at all because they use magneto ignition. Some used 12 volt car batteries.

For the variable pitch, and eletrically heated deicers, they were same as the battery voltage, 12 or 24 volts.
Don't know how much were required for the airline planes.

If you mean "bolts", it's usually 9 - 12...
