What Simple Machines are in a Claw Machine?

A claw machine is usually made up of several basic machines that help to run the machine in question. These include:

Lever: The arm of the claw machine is designed to be a lever that enables the user to manipulate the position of the claw. The lever is used in manipulating the claw in an upward, downward, left, and right direction.

Pulley: The claw is usually operated by pulpit, which employs ropes or cables to open and close the claw. The pulleys assist in altering the direction of the force that is exerted by the motor.

Wheel and Axle: The wheels and the rotating parts in the claw machine include the motor system that moves the claw horizontally and vertically, and this is a wheel and axle system.

Inclined Plane: Although not as apparent in the operation of the claw, inclined planes may be incorporated in the machine to help direct the claw or regulate the slope of the object picking area to ease the lifting of objects.

These simple machines work together with the more complicated parts, such as the motor and the electrical system, to enable the claw machine to work as expected.
