Default SC pulleys affect main bearings?

Will the tension from the pulleys on any of these centrifugal super chargers shorten the life of the main bearings?

I would expect the effects to be minimal at best. In order to affect the mains the pressure on the crank nose would have to be huge. Another accessory belt should not make a difference.

I think the boost and the extra strain from the added HP would put more strain on the mains than the forces needed to drive a SC.
