SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Inventory Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.

Among other things, this new guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company will adopt the standard for the annual and interim periods beginning on December 31, 2017, using the cumulative catch-up transition method. Management’s evaluation of the directional impacts of adopting the new standard on the timing of revenue recognition is in progress, and is expected to be complete during the fourth quarter of 2017. The detailed analysis of the impact on the timing of revenue recognition and the cumulative catch-up adjustment will be completed prior to the end of the 2017 fiscal year.

Business Acquisition

Business Combinations [Abstract]
BUSINESS ACQUISITION	3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION On December 5, 2016 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of Enovation Controls, LLC, a global provider of electronic control, display and instrumentation solutions. Historically Enovation Controls sold products to four customer markets: natural gas production controls (NGPC), engine controls and fuel systems (ECFS), power controls (PC) and vehicle technologies (VT). Prior to the closing date, and pursuant to an Asset Transfer Agreement, Enovation Controls transferred the assets and liabilities of their lines of business associated with the NGPC and ECFS customer markets to a separate legal entity, leaving Enovation Controls with only the lines of business associated with the PC and VT customer markets and the related agreed upon assets and liabilities to be acquired by Sun. Pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement, Sun acquired all of the outstanding membership units of Enovation Controls for initial cash consideration of $201,020 and additional cash earn-out potential of $50,000. Total consideration for the acquisition was subject to a post-closing adjustment for working capital in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. During the first quarter of 2017 the Company recognized an additional $500 of consideration for the post-closing working capital adjustment. The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay up to $50,000 of additional consideration to Enovation Controls’ former owners based on defined revenue and EBITDA targets. The potential payments are due in three installments, to be paid immediately following the 9, 18 and 27 month periods after closing. See Note 4 to the Financial Statements for a summary of the changes in estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability. The purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of the acquisition. Management is currently awaiting additional information to complete the valuation of deferred income taxes. As additional information, as of the Acquisition Date, becomes available and as management completes its evaluation, the preliminary purchase price allocation may be revised during the remainder of the measurement period (which will not exceed 12 months from the Acquisition Date). Any such revisions or changes may be material as the fair values are finalized. The fair value of total purchase consideration consisted of the following: Cash $ 201,020 Fair value of contingent consideration 41,391 Post closing adjustment for working capital 500 Total purchase consideration 242,911 Less: cash acquired (964 ) Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired $ 241,947 The preliminary allocation of the total purchase price, net of cash acquired, is as follows: Accounts receivable $ 9,502 Inventories 16,979 Other current assets 176 Property, plant and equipment 10,546 Goodwill 105,481 Intangible assets 108,070 Other assets 8 Total assets acquired 250,762 Accounts payable (3,260 ) Accrued expenses and other liabilities (3,745 ) Deferred income taxes (1,810 ) Total liabilities assumed (8,815 ) Fair value of net assets acquired $ 241,947 Unaudited Pro Forma Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents combined results of operations for each of the periods presented, as if Enovation Controls had been acquired as of the beginning of 2016. The financial results of Enovation Controls included in the pro forma information provided below reflect net sales and direct costs and operating expenses related to the acquired lines of business only. The PC and VT lines of business were not separate legal entities and were never operated as stand-alone businesses, divisions or subsidiaries and Enovation Controls had never maintained the distinct and separate accounts necessary to prepare full carve out financial statements. Due to the impracticability of obtaining full financial information for the carve-out operations, certain costs of Enovation Controls, primarily related to corporate overhead, foreign currency translation gains and losses and interest expense are not included in the pro forma results prior to the Acquisition Date. The pro forma information includes adjustments to interest expense, income tax provision, amortization and depreciation for intangible assets and property, plant and equipment acquired and net sales and cost of sales for the effects of the supply agreement entered into at the Acquisition Date. The pro forma information does not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that may result from the acquisition. Accordingly, the pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to present or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that may have been achieved had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of 2016, nor is it intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations of the combined business. Consequently, actual results will differ from the unaudited pro forma information presented below: Three months ended Nine months ended October 1, 2016 October 1, 2016 Net sales $ 68,471 $ 209,825 Operating income 11,039 37,536 Net income 6,933 24,011 Basic and diluted net income per common share 0.26 0.90

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company applies fair value accounting guidelines for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Under these guidelines, fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little, infrequent, or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration and newly acquired intangible assets are measured at fair value using level 3 inputs. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s short-term investments have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designation at each balance sheet date. The Company may or may not hold securities with stated maturities greater than 12 months until maturity. As management views these securities as available to support current operations, the Company classifies securities with maturities beyond 12 months as current assets under the caption short-term investments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s short-term investments are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of shareholder’s equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of short-term investments are generally determined using the specific identification method, and are included in miscellaneous expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates their carrying value, due to their short-term nature. September 30, 2017 Adjusted Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Assets Level 1: Equity securities $ — $ 25 $ — $ 25 Mutual funds 1,483 — (148 ) 1,335 Subtotal 1,483 25 (148 ) 1,360 Level 2: Corporate fixed income 1,443 — (304 ) 1,139 Municipal bonds 1,332 — (75 ) 1,257 Subtotal 2,775 — (379 ) 2,396 Total $ 4,258 $ 25 $ (527 ) $ 3,756 Liabilities Level 3: Contingent consideration $ 50,246 Total $ 50,246 December 31, 2016 Adjusted Cost Unrealized Gains Unrealized Losses Fair Value Assets Level 1: Equity securities $ — $ 31 $ — $ 31 Mutual funds 1,483 $ — (159 ) 1,324 Subtotal 1,483 31 (159 ) 1,355 Level 2: Corporate fixed income 4,288 9 (408 ) 3,889 Municipal bonds 1,675 $ — (94 ) 1,581 Subtotal 5,963 9 (502 ) 5,470 Total $ 7,446 $ 40 $ (661 ) $ 6,825 Liabilities Level 3: Contingent consideration $ 35,077 Total $ 35,077 The Company recognized a net realized loss on investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $259 and a net realized loss of $296 during the nine months ended October 1, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, gross unrealized losses related to individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or longer were not significant. The Company considers these unrealized losses in market value of its investments to be temporary in nature. When evaluating an investment for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the Company recognized impairment charges of $220 and $276, respectively, which are included in the net realized losses for the period. Maturities of investments at September 30, 2017 are as follows: Adjusted Cost Fair Value Due in less than one year $ 399 $ 276 Due after one year but within five years 1,199 1,091 Due after five years but within ten years 470 374 Due after ten years 707 655 Total $ 2,775 $ 2,396 A summary of the changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration at September 30, 2017 is as follows: Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 35,077 Measurement period adjustment 6,314 Change in estimated fair value 7,860 Accretion in value 995 Balance at September 30, 2017 $ 50,246 The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement was estimated using a risk-adjusted probability analysis. During the second quarter of 2017 management completed the valuation of the Acquisition Date fair value of contingent consideration resulting in a measurement period adjustment which increased the fair value of the liability and goodwill by $6,314. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration were recorded based on Enovation Controls’ results of operations during the period and managements revision of revenue and EBITDA forecasts. The adjustments were not considered measurement period adjustments and were therefore recognized in earnings for the period.

INCOME TAXES	8. INCOME TAXES At September 30, 2017, the Company had an unrecognized tax benefit of $3,242 including accrued interest. If recognized, the unrecognized tax benefit would have a favorable effect on the effective tax rate in future periods. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Interest accrued as of September 30, 2017, is not considered material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2007 for the majority of tax jurisdictions. The Company’s federal returns are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States for the periods 2007 through 2012. To date, there have not been any significant proposed adjustments that have not been accounted for in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. It is reasonably possible that within the next twelve months the Company will resolve some or all of the matters presently under consideration for 2007 through 2012 with the IRS and that there could be significant increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits.

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) provides for the grant of up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of restricted stock, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights, dividend or dividend equivalent rights, stock awards and other awards valued in whole or in part by reference to or otherwise based on the Company’s common stock, to officers, employees and directors of the Company. The 2011 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting. At September 30, 2017, 453,937 shares remained available to be issued under the 2011 Plan. Compensation cost is measured at the date of the grant and is recognized in earnings over the period in which the shares vest. Restricted stock expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, totaled $2,041 and $3,051, respectively. The following table summarizes restricted stock activity from December 31, 2016, through September 30, 2017: Weighted average Number of shares grant-date (in thousands) fair value Nonvested balance at December 31, 2016 104 $ 32.42 Granted 74 35.45 Vested (46 ) 33.30 Forfeitures (3 ) 31.85 Nonvested balance at September 30, 2017 129 $ 33.99 The Company had $2,457 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards granted under the 2011 Plan as of September 30, 2017. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.58 years. The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) in which only Sun Hydraulics US employees are eligible to participate. Employees in the United States who choose to participate are granted an opportunity to purchase common stock at 85 percent of market value on the first or last day of the quarterly purchase period, whichever is lower. Employees in the United Kingdom, under a separate plan, are granted an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at market value, on the first or last day of the quarterly purchase period, whichever is lower, with the Company issuing one additional free share of common stock for each six shares purchased by the employee under the plan. The ESPP and U.K. plans authorize the issuance, and the purchase by employees, of up to 1,096,875 shares of common stock through payroll deductions. No U.S. employee is allowed to buy more than $25 of common stock in any year, based on the market value of the common stock at the beginning of the purchase period, and no U.K. employee is allowed to buy more than the lesser of £1.5 or 10% of his or her annual salary in any year. Employees purchased 23,665 shares at a weighted average price of $32.83, and 26,575 shares at a weighted average price of $25.99, under the ESPP and U.K. plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively. The Company recognized $278 and $221 of compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2017, 554,627 shares remained available to be issued through the ESPP and the U.K. plan. In March 2012, the Board of Directors adopted the Sun Hydraulics Corporation 2012 Nonemployee Director Fees Plan (the “2012 Directors Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the 2012 Annual Meeting. Under the 2012 Directors Plan, Nonemployee Directors are compensated for their Board service solely in shares of common stock. In February 2015, the Board adopted amendments to the 2012 Directors Plan, which revised the compensation for Nonemployee Directors. Each Nonemployee Director now receives an annual retainer of 2,000 shares of common stock. The Chairman’s retainer is twice that of a regular director, and the retainer for the chairs of each Board Committee is 150% that of a regular director. In addition, each Nonemployee Director receives 250 shares of common stock for attendance at each Board meeting and each meeting of each committee of the Board on which he or she serves when the committee meeting is not held within one day of a meeting of the Board. In June 2015, the Company's shareholders approved the amendments to the 2012 Directors Plan. The Board has the authority to change from time to time, in any manner it deems desirable or appropriate, the share compensation to be awarded to all or any one or more Nonemployee Directors under the 2012 Directors Plan, provided that, with limited exceptions, such changes are subject to prior shareholder approval. The aggregate number of shares which may be issued during any single calendar year is limited to 35,000 shares. The 2012 Directors Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 270,000 shares of common stock. At September 30, 2017, 155,499 shares remained available for issuance under the 2012 Directors Plan. Directors were granted 19,375 and 18,625 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively. The Company recognized director stock compensation expense of $850 and $588 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING	11. SEGMENT REPORTING For the nine months ended October 1, 2016, the Company’s individual subsidiaries operated predominantly in a single industry as manufacturers and distributors of hydraulic components. Given the similar nature of products offered for sale, the type of customers, the methods of distribution and how the Company was managed, the Company determined that it had only one operating and reporting segment for both internal and external reporting purposes. With the acquisition of Enovation Controls on December 5, 2016, the Company re-evaluated the reportable operating segment presentation. As of the date of the acquisition, the Company has two reportable business segments: Hydraulics and Electronics. These segments are organized primarily based on the similar nature of products offered for sale, the types of customers served and the methods of distribution and are consistent with how the segments are managed, how resources are allocated and how information is used by the chief operating decision makers. As a result of the re-evaluation of reportable operating segments, financial information for HCT is presented in the Electronics segment as of the beginning of the 2016 fiscal year. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based primarily on segment operating income. Certain costs were not allocated to the business segments as they are not used in evaluating the results of, or in allocating resources to, Sun’s segments. These costs are presented in the Corporate and other line item below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the unallocated costs included certain corporate costs not deemed to be allocable to either business segment of $369, acquisition-related costs including charges related to inventory step-up to fair value of $1,774, and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $6,204. The accounting policies of Sun’s business segments are the same as those used to prepare the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following table presents financial information by reportable segment: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, 2017 October 1, 2016 September 30, 2017 October 1, 2016 Net sales Hydraulics $ 56,638 $ 44,402 $ 171,578 $ 144,500 Electronics 31,363 830 87,111 2,569 $ 88,001 $ 45,232 $ 258,689 $ 147,069 Operating Income Hydraulics $ 13,487 $ 7,706 $ 43,618 $ 30,274 Electronics 5,961 (134 ) 18,616 (372 ) Corporate and other (2,046 ) (329 ) (8,347 ) (329 ) $ 17,402 $ 7,243 $ 53,887 $ 29,573 Depreciation and Amortization Hydraulics $ 2,170 $ 2,389 $ 6,699 $ 7,169 Electronics 2,534 127 7,860 381 $ 4,704 $ 2,516 $ 14,559 $ 7,550 Capital Expenditures Hydraulics $ 4,185 $ 1,895 $ 6,261 $ 4,330 Electronics 778 55 2,007 177 $ 4,963 $ 1,950 $ 8,268 $ 4,507 September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Total Assets Hydraulics $ 205,060 $ 193,722 Electronics 271,528 251,055 Total $ 476,588 $ 444,777 Geographic Region Information Net sales are measured based on the geographic destination of sales.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Among other things, this new guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company will adopt the standard for the annual and interim periods beginning on December 31, 2017, using the cumulative catch-up transition method. Management’s evaluation of the directional impacts of adopting the new standard on the timing of revenue recognition is in progress, and is expected to be complete during the fourth quarter of 2017. The detailed analysis of the impact on the timing of revenue recognition and the cumulative catch-up adjustment will be completed prior to the end of the 2017 fiscal year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	The Company applies fair value accounting guidelines for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Under these guidelines, fair value is defined as the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little, infrequent, or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions about inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of marketable equity securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration and newly acquired intangible assets are measured at fair value using level 3 inputs. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of all other financial instruments were valued based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s short-term investments have been classified and accounted for as available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the designation at each balance sheet date. The Company may or may not hold securities with stated maturities greater than 12 months until maturity. As management views these securities as available to support current operations, the Company classifies securities with maturities beyond 12 months as current assets under the caption short-term investments in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s short-term investments are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of shareholder’s equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of short-term investments are generally determined using the specific identification method, and are included in miscellaneous expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
