<VV> Unique fan belt keeper-oner

 My guess is, it doesn't touch the belt unless the belt starts to whip against it. And the crank pulley is about, what, 6"? And this thing is closer to 1.5", I am guessing. So, not so extreme, especially since it doesn't turn most of the time.

So, if the crankshaft pulley is, what, 7 or 8 inches in diameter?  And the 
little idler is about, maybe 1 inch?  So if the crankshaft were running at say 
5,000 rpm, then the little idler would be singing along at 35 ~ 40,000 rpm!!!  
That little guy must have some really good bearings!
