a lever
An electric motor is not a simple machine, because it uses electric energy, which is not mechanical energy, which powers simple machines.
is a fixed pulley
It's a simple machine, more specifically a second class lever. That means there is a specific effort force, fulcrum and object force.
A garlic press uses a lever and has its fulcrum at one end of the lever arm. The load (garlic) is between the fulcrum and the effort. When using a simple machine like the garlic press we gain a mechanical advantage by increasing the amount of force we wish to use.
a centrifuge
What type of simple machine is a bottle openerLever: Fulcrum, resistance, applied force.

A fulcrum is a part of a simple machine, the lever. Without the fulcrum what is left of the simple machine can no longer increase the applied force and is no longer a simple machine.
