Sergei, it does not burn but it gets hard and slightly deforms due to the stresses during the operation.
Contact with greases is even more degrading. That why it's
absolutely prohibited touching the rubber surfaces of idlers OR ANYTHING THAT HAS CONTACT WITH IT with bare fingers!
Another point is that the rubber surface must be ideally flat, otherwise pizdets polnyi and your
wow&flutter goes to hell due to bump...bump...bump.... Looking at e.g. EMT new idlers, the surface seems like
machined in some way. In the design you've shown,
I cannot imagine how they are able to get ideally flat and even surface on such a huge rim!
