Recent Accounting Pronouncement

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Description of New Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements New Accounting Guidance Adopted: In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This new accounting guidance does not eliminate the requirement for the measurement period to be completed within one year. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-16. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-16 was immaterial to the Company's results of operations and financial condition as there was only a minor measurement-period adjustment during the first nine months of 2016. In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)." ASU 2015-07 eliminates the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair values are estimated using the net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient provided in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurement." Instead, entities will be required to disclose the fair values of such investments so that financial statement users can reconcile amounts reported in the fair value hierarchy table and the amounts reported on the balance sheet. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-07. The adoption of ASU 2015-07 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition as the new guidance addresses disclosure only. See Note 17 - Fair Value for the new disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." ASU 2015-05 provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. Prior to the issuance of this new accounting guidance, there was no explicit guidance about a customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-05 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." ASU 2015-03 requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction to the carrying value of debt. Prior to the issuance of this new accounting guidance, debt issuance costs were required to be presented in the balance sheet as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset), and only a debt discount was recorded as a direct deduction to the carrying value of debt. ASU 2015-03 requires that the new accounting guidance be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03. The following financial statement line items at December 31, 2015 were affected by the adoption of ASU 2015-03. As Originally Reported New Presentation Effect of Change Assets: Other non-current assets $ 50.3 $ 49.1 $ 1.2 Liabilities: Long-term debt $ 580.6 $ 579.4 $ 1.2 New Accounting Guidance Issued and Not Yet Adopted: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance will replace the current incurred loss approach with an expected loss model. The new expected credit loss impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt instruments, net investments in leases, loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Upon initial recognition of the exposure, the expected credit loss model requires entities to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure (or pool of exposures). The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics should be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 does not prescribe a specific method to make the estimate so its application will require significant judgment. ASU 2016-13 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." ASU 2016-09 simplifies various aspects of the accounting for stock-based payments. The simplifications include: a. recording all tax effects associated with stock-based compensation through the income statement, as opposed to recording certain amounts in other paid-in capital, which eliminates the complications of tracking a “windfall pool,” but will increase the volatility of income tax expense; b. allowing entities to withhold shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory tax withholding requirement up to the highest marginal tax rate applicable to employees rather than the employer’s minimum statutory rate, without requiring liability classification for the award; c. modifying the requirement to estimate the number of awards that will ultimately vest by providing an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of forfeitures or recognize forfeitures as they occur; and d. changing certain presentation requirements in the statement of cash flows, including removing the requirement to present excess tax benefits as an inflow from financing activities and an outflow from operating activities, and requiring the cash paid to taxing authorities arising from withheld shares to be classified as a financing activity. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares to meet the minimum statutory withholding requirement should be applied retrospectively. Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement and the practical expedient for estimating expected term should be applied prospectively. An entity may elect to apply the amendments related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition method or a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-09 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 was issued to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." ASU 2014-09 introduces a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue 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. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of this new accounting guidance by one year, which will result in it being effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Business Acquisition [Line Items]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the membership interests of Carlstar Belt LLC ("Timken Belts") for $213.7 million , including cash acquired of approximately $0.1 million . The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million of legal and professional fees to acquire Timken Belts. Timken Belts is a leading North American manufacturer of belts used in industrial, commercial and consumer applications, and sold under multiple brand names, including Carlisle®, Ultimax® and Panther®, among others. The product portfolio includes more than 20,000 parts that utilize wrap molded, raw edge, v-ribbed and synchronous belt designs. Based in Springfield, Missouri, Timken Belts had annual sales of approximately $140 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015, and employs approximately 750 employees. The results of the operations for Timken Belts are reported in both the Mobile Industries and Process Industries segments based on customers served. In June 2016, the Company paid a net purchase price adjustment of $0.7 million in connection with the Timken Belts acquisition, resulting in an adjustment to goodwill. The following table presents the final purchase price allocation for the Timken Belts acquisition: Initial Purchase Price Allocation Adjustment Final Purchase Price Allocation Assets: Accounts receivable, net $ 13.3 $ 13.3 Inventories, net 48.5 48.5 Other current assets 1.1 1.1 Property, plant and equipment, net 37.9 37.9 Goodwill 70.8 0.7 71.5 Other intangible assets 63.9 63.9 Total assets acquired $ 235.5 $ 0.7 $ 236.2 Liabilities: Accounts payable, trade $ 10.2 $ 10.2 Salaries, wages and benefits 1.1 1.1 Other current liabilities 1.3 1.3 Accrued pension cost 2.3 2.3 Accrued postretirement benefits cost 1.1 1.1 Other non-current liabilities 5.9 5.9 Total liabilities assumed $ 21.9 $ — $ 21.9 Net assets acquired $ 213.6 $ 0.7 $ 214.3

The majority of the Company's domestic inventories are valued by the LIFO method and all of the Company's international (outside the United States) inventories are valued by the FIFO method. An actual valuation of the inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these calculations are subject to many factors beyond management’s control, annual results may differ from interim results as they are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. The LIFO reserves at September 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , were $182.0 million and $188.1 million , respectively. The Company recognized a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $6.1 million during the first nine months of 2016 , compared with a decrease in its LIFO reserve of $2.6 million during the first nine months of 2015 .

The Plan was associated with former employees of the St. Thomas, Ontario manufacturing facility, which closed on March 31, 2013. The Company transferred approximately $15 million of the Company's pension obligations and $15 million of pension assets to Canada Life in this transaction. In addition to the purchase of the group annuity contract, the Company made lump-sum distributions of $6.8 million to deferred vested participants in the Plan during the second and third quarters of 2016. As a result of the group annuity contract and lump-sum distributions in Canada, as well as professional fees of $1.3 million associated with the implementation of a group annuity contract in the United States, the Company incurred total pension settlement charges of $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . On January 23, 2015 , the Timken-Latrobe-MPB-Torrington Retirement Plan purchased a group annuity contract from Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") to pay and administer future pension benefits for approximately 5,000 U.S. Timken retirees. The Company transferred approximately $575 million of the Company's pension obligations and $635 million of pension assets to Prudential in this transaction. In addition to the purchase of the group annuity contract, the Company made lump-sum distributions to new retirees of $29.5 million in 2015. The Company also incurred pension settlement and curtailment charges related to one of its Canadian defined benefit pension plans. As a result of the purchase of the group annuity contract and lump-sum distributions, as well as pension settlement and curtailment charges related to the Company's Canadian pension plans, the Company incurred total pension settlement charges of $223.2 million , including professional fees of $2.2 million , for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The following table sets forth the net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s other postretirement benefit plans.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 16 - Income Taxes The Company's provision for income taxes in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rates to income or loss before income taxes for the period. In addition, non-recurring or discrete items, including interest on prior year tax liabilities, are recorded during the period(s) in which they occur. Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2016 2015 2016 2015 Provision (benefit) for income taxes $ 13.5 $ (6.6 ) $ 61.1 $ 1.0 Effective tax rate 39.1 % (11.4 )% 32.2 % (3.2 )% In accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," the effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2016 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the nine months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of June 30, 2016. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of 39.1% for the third quarter of 2016, including discrete items. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2016 was computed based on an expected annual effective tax rate of 31.6% , excluding discrete items. Discrete tax items are recorded in the period in which they occur. Including the impact of discrete tax items, the effective tax rate was 32.2% in the first nine months of 2016, This rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35% and other U.S. tax benefits, such as the U.S. Research and Experimentation credit and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. These factors were partially offset by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, U.S. state and local taxes and the net impact of discrete tax items. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2015 was calculated as the difference between the income taxes computed for the nine months, as described below, and the year-to-date income taxes recorded as of June 30, 2015. This computation resulted in an effective tax rate of negative 11.4% for the third quarter of 2015, including discrete items. The effective tax rate of negative 11.4% was primarily due to the change in the Company's 2015 forecast and the variability caused by the large pension settlement charge recorded in the first quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2015 was computed based on an estimated overall annual effective tax rate of negative 3.2% , including discrete items (expected tax benefits on expected pretax income). The rate reflected an estimated full year loss in the U.S. primarily driven by pension settlement charges and earnings in foreign jurisdictions, which were expected to produce a net tax benefit on pre-tax income. The effective tax rate of negative 3.2% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is less than 35% , tax benefits related to foreign tax credits, U.S. state and local tax benefits, non-taxable U.S. income and the U.S. manufacturing deduction. These factors were partially offset by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, losses at certain foreign subsidiaries where no tax benefit could be recorded, non-deductible U.S. expenses and certain discrete tax expenses. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified $18.6 million of tax payments in India to income taxes payable in order to apply these payments to the underlying liabilities to which they relate. This item was identified during a routine review of the balances in these accounts. Management of the Company concluded that this change from gross to net presentation of these items in the third quarter of 2016 and the presence of the gross presentation in prior periods was immaterial to all periods presented.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Note 17 - Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB provides accounting rules that classify the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 : September 30, 2016 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 112.6 $ 112.6 $ — $ — Cash and cash equivalents measured at net asset value 16.4 Restricted cash 2.7 2.7 — — Short-term investments 7.0 — 7.0 — Short-term investments measured at net asset value 0.4 Foreign currency hedges 2.8 — 2.8 — Total Assets $ 141.9 $ 115.3 $ 9.8 $ — Liabilities: Foreign currency hedges $ 2.3 $ — $ 2.3 $ — Total Liabilities $ 2.3 $ — $ 2.3 $ — December 31, 2015 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 110.2 $ 110.2 $ — $ — Cash and cash equivalents measured net asset value 19.4 Restricted cash 0.2 0.2 — — Short-term investments 8.9 — 8.9 — Short-term investments measured at net asset value 0.8 Foreign currency hedges 8.2 — 8.2 — Total Assets $ 147.7 $ 110.4 $ 17.1 $ — Liabilities: Foreign currency hedges $ 0.4 $ — $ 0.4 $ — Total Liabilities $ 0.4 $ — $ 0.4 $ — Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are generally valued at the redemption value. Short-term investments are investments with maturities between four months and one year and are generally valued at amortized cost. A portion of the cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment are valued based on net asset value. The Company uses publicly available foreign currency forward and spot rates to measure the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts. The Company does not believe it has significant concentrations of risk associated with the counterparties to its financial instruments. The following table presents those assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , using Level 3 inputs: Carrying Value Fair Value Adjustment Fair Value Long-lived assets held for sale: Land $ 0.2 $ (0.2 ) $ — Total long-lived assets held for sale $ 0.2 $ (0.2 ) $ — Long-lived assets held and used: Altavista bearing plant $ 5.6 $ (3.1 ) $ 2.5 Equipment at Benoni bearing plant 0.5 (0.5 ) — Total long-lived assets held and used $ 6.1 $ (3.6 ) $ 2.5 Assets held for sale of $0.2 million were written down to their fair value of zero during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment charge. The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expects to receive when it disposes of these assets. On March 17, 2016, the Company announced the closure of its Altavista bearing plant. The plant is expected to close in approximately one year from the announcement date, with production transferring to the Company's bearing plant near Lincolnton, North Carolina. The Altavista bearing plant, with a carrying value of $5.6 million , was written down to its fair value of $3.2 million during the first quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment of $2.4 million . The fair value for the plant was based on the price that the Company expects to receive from the sale of this facility. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company reevaluated the fair value of this facility. The Altavista bearing plant was written down to its fair value of $2.5 million during the third quarter of 2016, resulting in an additional impairment of $0.7 million . In August 2016, the Company completed the consultation process to close the manufacturing operations in Benoni. The Benoni facility will continue to recondition bearings and assemble rail bearings. Equipment at this facility, with a carrying value of $0.5 million , was written down to its fair value of zero during the third quarter of 2016, resulting in an impairment of $0.5 million . The fair value for the equipment was based on the price that the Company expects to receive from the sale of the equipment. The following table presents those assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , using Level 3 inputs: Carrying Value Fair Value Adjustment Fair Value Long-lived assets held for sale: Repair business $ 5.8 $ (3.0 ) $ 2.8 Total long-lived assets held for sale $ 5.8 $ (3.0 ) $ 2.8 Long-lived assets held and used: Fixed assets $ 0.8 $ (0.3 ) $ 0.5 Total long-lived assets held and used $ 0.8 $ (0.3 ) $ 0.5 Assets held for sale of $5.8 million associated with the Company's repair business in Niles were written down to their fair value of $2.8 million during the first and second quarters of 2015 , resulting in an impairment charge of $3.0 million . The fair value of these assets was based on the price that the Company expected to receive from the sale of these assets. This business was subsequently sold during the second quarter of 2015 for an immaterial loss. Various items of property, plant and equipment, with a carrying value of $0.8 million , were written down to their fair value of $0.5 million during the first nine months of 2015 , resulting in an impairment charge of $0.3 million . The fair value for these assets was based on the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the assets on a standalone basis, considering the age and physical attributes of these items, as these assets had been idled. Financial Instruments: The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, trade, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable net, accounts payable, trade and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term fixed-rate debt, based on quoted market prices, was $547.4 million and $521.5 million at September 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The carrying value of this debt was $507.3 million and $519.2 million at September 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The fair value of long-term fixed-debt was measured using Level 2 inputs.

Derivative [Line Items]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 18 - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. Forward exchange contracts on various foreign currencies are entered into in order to manage the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain of the Company’s commitments denominated in foreign currencies. Forward contracts on various commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of natural gas used in the Company’s manufacturing process. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s fixed and floating-rate borrowings. The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted revenues and certain interest rate hedges as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings. The Company does not purchase nor hold any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. As of September 30, 2016 , and December 31, 2015 , the Company had $247.9 million and $235.7 million , respectively, of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at notional value. Refer to Note 17 - Fair Value for the fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments. Cash Flow Hedging Strategy: For certain derivative instruments that are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges ( i.e ., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any ( i.e ., the ineffective portion), or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income during the current period. To protect against a reduction in the value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows resulting from export sales over the next year, the Company has instituted a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. The Company hedges portions of its forecasted intra-group revenue or expense denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. When the dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency revenue is offset by gains in the fair value of the forward contracts designated as hedges. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is offset by losses in the fair value of the forward contracts. The maximum length of time over which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is generally 18 months or less. Fair Value Hedging Strategy: For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges ( i.e ., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the same line item associated with the hedged item ( i.e ., in “interest expense” when the hedged item is fixed-rate debt). Purpose for Derivative Instruments not Designated as Hedging Instruments: For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the instruments are typically forward contracts. In general, the practice is to reduce volatility by selectively hedging transaction exposures including intercompany loans, accounts payable and accounts receivable. Intercompany loans between entities with different functional currencies are typically hedged with a forward contract at the inception of the loan with a maturity date at the maturity of the loan. The revaluation of these contracts, as well as the underlying balance sheet items, is recorded directly to the income statement so the adjustment generally offsets the revaluation of the underlying balance sheet items to protect cash payments and reduce income statement volatility. The following table presents the fair value of the Company's hedging instruments. Those balances are presented in the other non-current assets/liabilities accounts within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CDSOA [Abstract]
Continued Dumping And Subsidy Offset Act [Text Block]	Note 19 - Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA) The U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act ("CDSOA") provides for distribution of monies collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("U.S. Customs") on entries of merchandise subject to antidumping orders that entered the U.S. prior to October 1, 2007, to qualifying domestic producers where the domestic producers have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and people. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recognized CDSOA expense of $0.2 million . During the first nine months of 2016, the Company recognized pretax CDSOA income, net of related expenses of $53.6 million . In September 2002, the World Trade Organization ruled that CDSOA payments are not consistent with international trade rules. In February 2006, U.S. legislation was enacted that ended CDSOA distributions for imports covered by antidumping duty orders entering the United States after September 30, 2007. Instead, any such antidumping duties collected would remain with the U.S. Treasury. CDSOA has been the subject of significant litigation since 2002, and U.S. Customs has withheld CDSOA distributions in recent years while litigation was ongoing. In recent months, much of the CDSOA litigation that involves antidumping orders where Timken is a qualifying domestic producer has concluded. As a result, the Company was notified by letters dated March 25, 2016, and June 24, 2016 that funds were being distributed to the Company. On April 1, 2016, and July 1, 2016, the Company received CDSOA distributions of $48.1 million and $6.3 million , respectively, in the aggregate, representing funds that would have been distributed to the Company at the end of calendar years 2011 through 2015. While some of the challenges to CDSOA have been resolved, others are still in litigation. Since there continue to be legal challenges to CDSOA, U.S. Customs has advised all affected domestic producers that it is possible that CDSOA distributions could be subject to clawback. Management of the Company believes that the likelihood of any clawback is remote.
