mechanical advantage
Sounds like you are asking about "mechanical advantage"...
The mechanical efficiency of this machine is 30 percent.
mechanical efficiency is the percent of the energy that you put into a machine that was transferred to the load.

Friction is the reason that you can never have a 100% efficient machine. It is the reason that most machine have horrible efficiency.
mechanical advantage
Mechanical Efficiency is the ratio of Actual mechanical advantage to ideal mechanical advantage.Efficiency will be maximum when Actual mechanical advantage equals that of ideal.But practically not possible.Actual mechanical advantage will be less due to friction,heat,deflection etc.avoiding these loses will increase the machine efficiency.
Because there is always going to be friction, the efficiency of any machine will always be less then 100 percent.

Friction in a machine can reduce the mechanical energy produced by increasing the amount of energy lost as heat. Friction between moving parts causes resistance, which converts some of the mechanical energy into thermal energy. Minimizing friction through lubrication and proper maintenance can help increase the efficiency of a machine and maximize the amount of mechanical energy it produces.
