A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a support. It does not reduce the effort needed to lift the load, but rather changes the direction of the applied force.

An example of a fixed pulley would be the rope pulley on a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move (it is attached to the overhead structure).
