No. A wheel-and-axle is a simple machine designed to convert rotational motion by transferring energy to a larger or smaller co-rotating form. Examples include

- the turning axle of an automobile that transfers rotation to the driving wheels

- a doorknob that slides its bolt in reaction to being turned

- a capstan that lifts an anchor by turning its reel

- a rotary winch
