Lantern gear wheel with roller chains are a cost-effective and robust alternative to rack and pinion drives. By guiding the stretched lantern gear wheel chain tangentially along the lantern gear wheel, a linear movement of the chain is converted into a rotational movement of the wheel. Conversely, a linear motion of the chain can also be achieved by the rotary motion of the lantern gear wheel (motorbike/bicycle).
