Although Solenoid Valve Coil has many varieties of force sensors, strain gauge load cells for Hot Wire Anemometer are the most commonly used type.

Except for certain Solar Wind Speed Meter laboratories where precision mechanical balances are still used, strain gauge load cells dominate the weighing industry. Pneumatic load cells are sometimes used where intrinsic safety and hygiene are desired, and hydraulic load cells are considered in remote locations, as they do not require a power supply. Strain gauge load cells offer accuracies from within 0.03% to 0.25% full scale and are suitable for almost all industrial applications.
