A guide carriage includes a main body, a separate track element connected to the main body, at least one carriage track, at least one deformation sensor, an evaluating device, and at least one row of endlessly revolving roller elements that roll off on an associated carriage track in a load-transmitting manner. The carriage track extends parallel to a longitudinal axis, and is positioned on the track element. The track element has at least one self-supporting section not supported on the main body and located at one end of the track element along the direction of the longitudinal axis. The at least one deformation sensor is connected to the evaluating device, positioned in a region of a respective self-supporting section of the track element, and configured to measure a deformation of the respective one of the at least one self-supporting sections of the track element.
