A guide carriage for use with a guide rail includes a main body and a separate raceway insert. A first carriage raceway that extends parallel to a longitudinal axis is disposed on the raceway insert. The first carriage raceway is assigned a first lateral face, which is disposed on that side of the raceway insert that is opposite the first carriage raceway. The first carriage raceway is assigned a row of rolling bodies capable of being brought into rolling engagement with the first carriage raceway and an assigned first rail raceway on the guide rail. The raceway insert is supported in a force-transmitting manner on the main body by way of the first lateral face. The raceway insert has a sensory layer which in the direction of the longitudinal axis extends across at least 80% of the length of the raceway insert.

A guide carriage is configured for use with an elongate guide rail. The guide carriage has at least one row of spherical rolling bodies which are received in an associated endless circulatory channel. The circulatory channel has a load-bearing section and a return channel which are connected to one another at their ends which lie opposite one another via in each case one curved deflection channel. The load-bearing section is delimited by a carriage raceway extending in a longitudinal direction on the guide carriage and a rail raceway on the guide rail. A separate main body of metal is also provided. The carriage raceway is arranged on a separate raceway insert which bears against the main body. A separate rolling-body guide part is also provided which has a guide section extending in the longitudinal direction. The guide section engages behind the raceway insert.
