The wheel and axle is a simple machine The traditional form as recognised in 19th century textbooks is as shown in the image. This also shows the most widely recognised application, ie lifting water from a well. The form consists of a wheel that turns an axle and in turn a rope converts the rotational motion to linear motion for the purpose of lifting. By considering the machine as a torque multiplier, ie the output is a torque, items such as gears and screwdrivers can fall within this category.
