The invention concerns a device for guiding a strip, especially a metal strip, by means of one or more rolls. In this regard, the roll force that acts on the rolls during the guidance of the strip, i.e., under load, is measured. Devices of this type are known in the prior art, e.g., from European Patent EP 0 539 784 22, which discloses a continuous casting plant in which the rolls of a strand guide apparatus are adjusted by means of hydraulic cylinders. To measure the mechanical loads that act on the individual rolls of the strand guide apparatus during its operation, a load cell or force gauge is assigned to each roll. In this regard, the load cell is mounted between the bearing block in which the roll is supported and a segmented crosshead. Moreover, the following documents disclose prior-art devices of the aforementioned type: -- DE 41 21 116 A1, -- "Sensitive measurement of roll separation forces", Steel Times International, DMG World Media, Lewes, GB, Vol.
