Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016 . All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. Refer to the table below for a summary of ASUs we have adopted during 2017 and the related financial statement impact. During 2016, we made a change to our segment reporting to include Medical Devices within our Components segment and Linear within Space and Defense Controls. The Segment footnote has been restated to reflect these changes. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Standard Description Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters ASU no. 2015-03 Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (And All Related ASUs) This standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The provisions of this standard and all subsequently issued guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We adopted this standard on a retrospective basis, resulting in the reclassification of $5,457 of debt issuance costs as of October 1, 2016 previously reported as Other Assets in our balance sheet to Long Term Debt, excluding current installments. Date adopted: Q1 2017 ASU no. 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes The standard amends existing guidance to require presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent within the balance sheet. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We adopted this standard on a retrospective basis, resulting in the reclassification of a net $92,620 of previously reported current deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2016 to the appropriate long term deferred income tax classification based upon the net tax position within each of our relevant taxing jurisdictions. Date early adopted: Q1 2017 ASU no. 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Shared Based Payment Accounting This standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, statement of cash flows classifications, share repurchases relating to tax withholdings and forfeiture accounting. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis and as a result prior periods have not been adjusted. Going forward, recognized excess tax benefits previously reported as part of additional paid-in capital in our balance sheet will be included as part of income tax expense in our income statement. Additionally, cash flow relating to these excess tax benefits previously reported as a financing activity will be included as an operating activity. Date early adopted: Q1 2017 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Standard Description Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters ASU no. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (And All Related ASUs) The standard requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The provisions of the standard, as well as all subsequently issued clarifications to the standard, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2019 ASU no. 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The standard requires most equity investments to be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendment also impacts the measurement of financial liabilities under the fair value option as well as certain presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for some, but not all, provisions. The amendment requires certain provisions to be applied prospectively and others to be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment. We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2019 ASU no. 2016-02 Leases The standard requires most lease arrangements to be recognized in the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the leasing arrangements. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2020 We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, or had or are expected to have minimal impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

Acquisition, Divestiture and Assets Held for Sale	Acquisition, Divestiture and Assets Held for Sale In 2016, we acquired a 70% ownership in Linear Mold and Engineering, a Livonia, Michigan-based company specializing in metal additive manufacturing that provides engineering, manufacturing and production consulting services to customers across a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, energy and industrial. The purchase price, net of acquired cash, was $22,765 consisting of $11,016 in cash, issuance of a $1,280 unsecured note and assumption of $10,469 of debt. The acquisition also includes a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the remaining 30% . This acquisition is included in our Space and Defense Controls segment. On January 25, 2017, we acquired the remaining 30% redeemable noncontrolling interest for $1,656 in cash, which will also be reflected in additional paid-in capital. In 2017, we recorded losses in other expense of $8,936 related to selling the European space businesses of our Space and Defense Controls segment. We received $1,307 in cash and reclassified $7,213 in other current assets and $2,751 in other current liabilities as held for sale. We expect the sale of the held for sale portion of these businesses to be completed during 2017.

Our U.S. revolving credit facility has a capacity of $1,100,000 and provides an expansion option, which permits us to request an increase of up to $200,000 to the credit facility upon satisfaction of certain conditions. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of our U.S. assets. The loan agreement contains various covenants which, among others, specify interest coverage and maximum leverage and capital expenditures. We are in compliance with all covenants. At December 31, 2016 , we had $300,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due December 1, 2022 with interest paid semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The senior notes are unsecured obligations, guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiaries and contain normal incurrence-based covenants and limitations such as the ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make other restricted payments and investments, create liens and certain corporate acts such as mergers and consolidations. The Securitization Program matures on April 13, 2018 and effectively increases our borrowing capacity by up to $120,000 . Under the Securitization Program, we sell certain trade receivables and related rights to an affiliate, which in turn sells an undivided variable percentage ownership interest in the trade receivables to a financial institution, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. Interest for the Securitization Program is based on 30-day LIBOR plus an applicable margin. A commitment fee is also charged based on a percentage of the unused amounts available and is not material . The agreement governing the Securitization Program contains restrictions and covenants which include limitations on the making of certain restricted payments, creation of certain liens, and certain corporate acts such as mergers, consolidations and sale of substantially all assets. The Securitization Program has a minimum borrowing requirement equal to the lesser of either 80% of our borrowing capacity or 100% of our borrowing base, which is a subset of the trade receivables sold under this agreement. As of December 31, 2016 , our minimum borrowing requirement was $96,000 .

We enter into derivative financial instruments with a number of major financial institutions to minimize counterparty credit risk. Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate swaps are used to adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed interest rates. The interest rate swaps are designated as hedges of the amount of future cash flows related to interest payments on variable-rate debt that, in combination with the interest payments on the debt, convert a portion of the variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. At December 31, 2016 , we had interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $135,000 . The interest rate swaps effectively convert this amount of variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt at 2.47% , including the applicable margin of 1.63% as of December 31, 2016 . The interest will revert back to variable rates based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin upon the maturity of the interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps mature at various times through July 8, 2019 . We use foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges to effectively fix the exchange rates on future payments and revenue. To mitigate exposure in movements between various currencies, including the Philippine peso and the British pound, we had outstanding foreign currency forwards with notional amounts of $56,537 at December 31, 2016 . These contracts mature at various times through November 29, 2018 . These interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and the related gains or losses are deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCIL). These deferred gains and losses are reclassified into the consolidated condensed statements of earnings during the periods in which the related payments or receipts affect earnings. However, to the extent the interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts are not perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the payments and revenue being hedged, the ineffective portion of these contracts is recognized in earnings immediately. Ineffectiveness was not material in the first three months of 2017 or 2016 . Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments We also have foreign currency exposure on balances, primarily intercompany, that are denominated in foreign currencies and are adjusted to current values using period-end exchange rates. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. To minimize foreign currency exposure, we had foreign currency contracts with notional amounts of $121,302 at December 31, 2016 . The foreign currency contracts are recorded in the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value and resulting gains or losses are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of earnings. We recorded the following gains or losses on foreign currency contracts which are included in other income or expense and generally offset the gains or losses from the foreign currency adjustments on the intercompany balances that are also included in other income or expense: Three Months Ended December 31, January 2, Net gain $ 1,394 $ 890 Summary of derivatives The fair value and classification of derivatives is summarized as follows: December 31, October 1, Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency contracts Other current assets $ 280 $ 379 Foreign currency contracts Other assets 1 56 Interest rate swaps Other current assets 387 52 Interest rate swaps Other assets 419 69 Total asset derivatives $ 1,087 $ 556 Foreign currency contracts Other accrued liabilities $ 3,994 $ 4,080 Foreign currency contracts Other long-term liabilities 668 448 Interest rate swaps Other accrued liabilities 59 201 Total liability derivatives $ 4,721 $ 4,729 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency contracts Other current assets $ 1,124 $ 422 Foreign currency contracts Other accrued liabilities $ 398 $ 76

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. The definition of the fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 – Inputs for which significant valuation assumptions are unobservable in a market and therefore value is based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require. Our derivatives are valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market data, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The following table presents the fair values and classification of our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis, all of which are classified as Level 2. Classification December 31, October 1, Foreign currency contracts Other current assets $ 1,404 $ 801 Foreign currency contracts Other assets 1 56 Interest rate swaps Other current assets 387 52 Interest rate swaps Other assets 419 69 Total assets $ 2,211 $ 978 Foreign currency contracts Other accrued liabilities $ 4,392 $ 4,156 Foreign currency contracts Other long-term liabilities 668 448 Interest rate swaps Other accrued liabilities 59 201 Total liabilities $ 5,119 $ 4,805 The carrying value of our financial instruments approximate their fair value, with the exception of our outstanding senior notes included in long-term debt. At December 31, 2016 , the fair value of long-term debt was $1,010,105 compared to its carrying value of $1,005,417 . The fair value of long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	Restructuring In 2016, we initiated restructuring actions in conjunction with exiting a product line within Aircraft Controls in the U.S. and a facility in the U.K. We have also taken actions as a result of the business outlook in specific markets and locations in Components and Industrial Systems. Those actions have resulted in workforce reductions in Canada, Europe and the U.S. for Components and will result in workforce reductions primarily in Europe for Industrial Systems. Restructuring activity for severance and other costs by segment and reconciliation to consolidated amounts is as follows: Aircraft Controls Space and Defense Controls Industrial Systems Components Corporate Total Balance at October 1, 2016 $ 1,474 $ 665 $ 3,611 $ 369 $ 1,727 $ 7,846 Adjustments to provision — (44 ) (20 ) — — (64 ) Cash payments - 2014 plan — (125 ) — — — (125 ) Cash payments - 2015 plan (110 ) — (91 ) — — (201 ) Cash payments - 2016 plan (52 ) — (347 ) (281 ) (86 ) (766 ) Foreign currency translation (58 ) (3 ) (98 ) — — (159 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,254 $ 493 $ 3,055 $ 88 $ 1,641 $ 6,531 As of December 31, 2016 , the restructuring accrual consists of $433 for the 2014 plan, $421 for the 2015 plan and $5,677 for the 2016 plan. Restructuring for all plans is expected to be paid by September 30, 2017 , except portions classified as long-term liabilities based on payment arrangements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016 were 17.6% and 26.6% , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2016 is lower than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to earnings before income taxes primarily from the tax benefits associated with selling our European space businesses. The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 2, 2016 is lower than would be expected by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to earnings before income taxes primarily due to a significant portion of our earnings that come from foreign operations with lower tax rates and included the benefit from the enactment of legislation reinstating the research and development tax credit in the U.S.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings. We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings which management believes will result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are engaged in administrative proceedings with governmental agencies and legal proceedings with governmental agencies and other third parties in the normal course of our business, including litigation under Superfund laws, regarding environmental matters. We believe that adequate reserves have been established for our share of the estimated cost for all currently pending environmental administrative or legal proceedings and do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In the ordinary course of business we could be subject to ongoing claims or disputes from our customers, the ultimate settlement of which could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations. While the receivables and any loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete a given project, there may still be significant effort required to complete the ultimate deliverable. Future variability in internal cost as well as future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including deliveries, performance and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the loss may be recognized. We are contingently liable for $19,959 of standby letters of credit issued by a bank to third parties on our behalf at December 31, 2016 .

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of results for the interim period have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2016 . All references to years in these financial statements are to fiscal years.
Reclassification	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year's presentation. Refer to the table below for a summary of ASUs we have adopted during 2017 and the related financial statement impact. During 2016, we made a change to our segment reporting to include Medical Devices within our Components segment and Linear within Space and Defense Controls. The Segment footnote has been restated to reflect these changes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Standard Description Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters ASU no. 2015-03 Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (And All Related ASUs) This standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The provisions of this standard and all subsequently issued guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We adopted this standard on a retrospective basis, resulting in the reclassification of $5,457 of debt issuance costs as of October 1, 2016 previously reported as Other Assets in our balance sheet to Long Term Debt, excluding current installments. Date adopted: Q1 2017 ASU no. 2015-17 Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes The standard amends existing guidance to require presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent within the balance sheet. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We adopted this standard on a retrospective basis, resulting in the reclassification of a net $92,620 of previously reported current deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of October 1, 2016 to the appropriate long term deferred income tax classification based upon the net tax position within each of our relevant taxing jurisdictions. Date early adopted: Q1 2017 ASU no. 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Shared Based Payment Accounting This standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, statement of cash flows classifications, share repurchases relating to tax withholdings and forfeiture accounting. The provisions of this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis and as a result prior periods have not been adjusted. Going forward, recognized excess tax benefits previously reported as part of additional paid-in capital in our balance sheet will be included as part of income tax expense in our income statement. Additionally, cash flow relating to these excess tax benefits previously reported as a financing activity will be included as an operating activity. Date early adopted: Q1 2017 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Standard Description Financial Statement Effect or Other Significant Matters ASU no. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (And All Related ASUs) The standard requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The provisions of the standard, as well as all subsequently issued clarifications to the standard, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2019 ASU no. 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities The standard requires most equity investments to be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendment also impacts the measurement of financial liabilities under the fair value option as well as certain presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for some, but not all, provisions. The amendment requires certain provisions to be applied prospectively and others to be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment. We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2019 ASU no. 2016-02 Leases The standard requires most lease arrangements to be recognized in the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The standard also requires additional disclosures about the leasing arrangements. The provisions of the standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect on our financial statements and related disclosures. Planned date of adoption: Q1 2020 We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, or had or are expected to have minimal impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.
