Imagine using a brick under a plank to lift a bunch of bricks or something. The brick is acting as the fulcrum. The simple machine is the Lever. The fulcrum is integral to the lever and is what makes it work. Levers are machines just as cars and lathes are. They are inanimate objects which help us do a thing. Levers multiply force. They make it easier to open tins of paint and adjust our desk chair heights. Hope this helps.

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.
An electric motor is not a simple machine, because it uses electric energy, which is not mechanical energy, which powers simple machines.
A fulcrum is part of a lever.

The fixed turning point of a simple machine is called the fulcrum. The fulcrum is the point around which the machine rotates or pivots to perform work.
