Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies General: The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts. Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated. Revenue recognition : Sales and related cost of sales are recognized when products are shipped or delivered to customers depending upon when title and risk of loss have passed. Service revenue is recognized when the related services are performed. In the aerospace manufacturing businesses, the Company recognizes revenue based on the units-of-delivery method in accordance with accounting standards related to accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts. Management fees related to the aerospace aftermarket Revenue Sharing Programs ("RSPs") are satisfied through an agreed upon reduction from the sales price of each of the related spare parts. These fees recognize our customer's necessary performance of engine program support activities, such as spare parts administration, warehousing and inventory management, and customer support, and are not separable from our sale of products, and accordingly, they are reflected as a reduction to sales, rather than as costs incurred, when revenues are recognized. Operating expenses: The Company includes manufacturing labor, material, manufacturing overhead and costs of its distribution network within cost of sales. Other costs, including selling personnel costs and commissions, and other general and administrative costs of the Company are included within selling and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense is allocated between cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses. Cash and cash equivalents: Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value. Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Loss provisions, if any, on aerospace contracts are established when estimable. Loss provisions are based on the projected excess of manufacturing costs over the net revenues of the products or group of related products under contract or purchase order. Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded over estimated useful lives, generally ranging from 20 to 50 years for buildings, three to five years for computer equipment and four to 12 years for machinery and equipment. The straight-line method of depreciation was adopted for all property, plant and equipment placed in service after March 31, 1999. For property, plant and equipment placed into service prior to April 1, 1999, depreciation is calculated using accelerated methods. The Company assesses the impairment of property, plant and equipment subject to depreciation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess purchase cost over the fair value of net assets of companies acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is considered an indefinite-lived asset. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards governing such on an annual basis, in the second quarter, or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit has been reduced below its carrying value. Based on the assessments performed during 2016, there was no goodwill impairment. Aerospace Aftermarket Programs: The Company participates in aftermarket RSPs under which the Company receives an exclusive right to supply designated aftermarket parts over the life of the related aircraft engine program. As consideration, the Company has paid participation fees, which are recorded as long-lived intangible assets. The Company records amortization of the related intangible asset as sales dollars are being earned based on a proportional sales dollar method. Specifically, this method amortizes each asset as a reduction to revenue based on the proportion of sales under a program in a given period to the estimated aggregate sales dollars over the life of that program. The Company also entered into Component Repair Programs ("CRPs") that provide for, among other items, the right to sell certain aftermarket component repair services for CFM56, CF6, CF34 and LM engines directly to other customers as one of a few GE licensed suppliers. In addition, the CRPs extended certain existing contracts under which the Company currently provides these services directly to GE. The Company recorded the consideration for these rights as an intangible asset that is amortized as a reduction to sales over the remaining life of these engine programs. This method reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the RSPs and the CRPs are realized. The recoverability of each asset is subject to significant estimates about future revenues related to the program’s aftermarket parts and services. The Company evaluates these intangible assets for recoverability and updates amortization rates on an agreement by agreement basis for the RSPs and on an individual asset program basis for the CRPs. The assets are reviewed for recoverability periodically including whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Annually, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Management updates revenue projections, which includes comparing actual experience against projected revenue and industry projections. The potential exists that actual revenues will not meet expectations due to a change in market conditions including, for example, the replacement of older engines with new, more fuel-efficient engines or the Company's ability to maintain market share within the Aftermarket business. A shortfall in future revenues may indicate a triggering event requiring a write down or further evaluation of the recoverability of the assets or require the Company to accelerate amortization expense prospectively dependent on the level of the shortfall. The Company has not identified any impairment of these assets. Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets consist primarily of the Aerospace Aftermarket Programs, as discussed above, customer relationships, tradenames, patents and proprietary technology. These intangible assets, with the exception of certain tradenames, have finite lives and are amortized over the periods in which they provide benefit. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever significant events or significant changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Tradenames with indefinite lives are subject to impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards governing such on an annual basis, in the second quarter, or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of the asset has been reduced below its carrying value. Based on the assessment performed during 2016, there were no impairments of other intangible assets. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives: Accounting standards related to the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Foreign currency contracts may qualify as fair value hedges of unrecognized firm commitments, cash flow hedges of recognized assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions, or a hedge of a net investment. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are recorded directly to earnings or accumulated other non-owner changes to equity, depending on the designation. Amounts recorded to accumulated other non-owner changes to equity are reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the earnings impact of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion, or amounts related to contracts that are not designated as hedges, are recorded directly to earnings. The Company’s policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item. Foreign currency: Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange; revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange. The resulting translation gains or losses are reflected in accumulated other non-owner changes to equity within stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency transaction gains of $1,873 and $505 in 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and a loss of $1,466 in 2014 , were included in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Research and Development: Costs are incurred in connection with efforts aimed at discovering and implementing new knowledge that is critical to developing new products, processes or services, significantly improving existing products or services, and developing new applications for existing products and services. Research and development expenses for the creation of new and improved products and services were $12,913 , $12,688 and $15,782 , for the years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expense.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	Acquisitions The Company has acquired a number of businesses during the past two years . The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been included in the consolidated results from the respective acquisition dates. The purchase prices for these acquisitions have been allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the businesses based upon estimates of their respective fair values. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company, through three of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Purchaser”), completed its acquisition of the molds business of Adval Tech Holding AG and Adval Tech Holdings (Asia) Pte. Ltd. ("FOBOHA"). FOBOHA is headquartered in Haslach, Germany and operates out of three manufacturing facilities located in Germany, Switzerland and China. The Company completed its purchase of the Germany and Switzerland businesses on August 31, 2016. The purchase of the China business required government approval which was granted on September 30, 2016. On October 7, 2016, shares of the China operations were subsequently transferred to the Company upon payment, per the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement for these respective operations ("China SPA"). The Company, pursuant to the terms and conditions within the Share Purchase Agreement ("FOBOHA SPA"), assumed economic control of the China business effective August 31, 2016. Having both economic control and the benefits and risks of ownership during the period from August 31, 2016 through September 30, 2016, the Company included the results of the China business within the consolidated results of operations of the Company during this period. FOBOHA specializes in the development and manufacture of complex plastic injection molds for packaging, medical, consumer and automotive applications. The Company acquired FOBOHA for an aggregate cash purchase price of CHF 136,337 ( $138,596 ) which was financed using cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility. The purchase price includes preliminary adjustments under the terms of the FOBOHA SPA, including approximately CHF 11,342 ( $11,530 ) related to cash acquired and is subject to post closing adjustments under the terms of the FOBOHA SPA. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded $39,800 of intangible assets and $73,688 of goodwill. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company incurred $2,193 of acquisition-related costs during the year ended December 31, 2016 related to the FOBOHA acquisition. These costs include due diligence costs and transaction costs to complete the acquisition and have been recognized in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income as selling and administrative expenses. Pro forma operating results for the FOBOHA acquisition are not presented as the results would not be significantly different than historical results. The operating results of FOBOHA have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the period ended December 31, 2016 since the date of acquisition. The Company reported $18,348 in net sales for FOBOHA for the year ended December 31, 2016. FOBOHA results have been included within the Industrial segment's operating profit. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company, itself and through two of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of privately held Priamus System Technologies AG and two of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Priamus") from Growth Finance AG. Priamus, which has approximately 40 employees, is headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland and has direct sales and service offices in the U.S. and Germany. Priamus is a technology leader in the development of advanced process control systems for the plastic injection molding industry and services many of the world's highest quality plastic injection molders in the medical, automotive, consumer goods, electronics and packaging markets. Priamus is being integrated into our Industrial segment. The Company acquired Priamus for an aggregate cash purchase price of CHF 9,879 ( $10,111 ) which was financed using cash on hand and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill: The following table sets forth the change in the carrying amount of goodwill for each reportable segment and the Company: Industrial Aerospace Total Company January 1, 2015 $ 564,163 $ 30,786 $ 594,949 Acquisition-related 22,798 — 22,798 Foreign currency translation (29,755 ) — (29,755 ) December 31, 2015 557,206 30,786 587,992 Acquisition-related 73,688 — 73,688 Foreign currency translation (28,244 ) — (28,244 ) December 31, 2016 $ 602,650 $ 30,786 $ 633,436 Of the $633,436 of goodwill at December 31, 2016 , $43,860 represents the original tax deductible basis. The increase in goodwill of $73,688 during 2016 is due to the acquisition of FOBOHA on August 31, 2016, which is included in the Industrial segment. The amount allocated to goodwill reflects the benefits that the Company expects to realize from synergies created by combining the operations of FOBOHA, future enhancements to technology, geographical expansion and FOBOHA's assembled workforce. None of the recognized goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments, therefore goodwill acquired may require adjustment accordingly. Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets at December 31 consisted of: 2016 2015 Range of Life-Years Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Amortized intangible assets: Revenue Sharing Programs Up to 30 $ 293,700 $ (95,701 ) $ 293,700 $ (84,629 ) Component Repair Program Up to 30 111,839 (10,497 ) 111,839 (6,054 ) Customer lists/relationships 10-16 215,266 (53,198 ) 194,566 (41,786 ) Patents and technology 4-14 84,052 (37,897 ) 69,352 (29,551 ) Trademarks/trade names 10-30 11,950 (9,967 ) 11,950 (9,412 ) Other Up to 15 20,551 (16,338 ) 20,551 (15,413 ) 737,358 (223,598 ) 701,958 (186,845 ) Unamortized intangible asset: Trade names 42,770 — 38,370 — Foreign currency translation (34,272 ) — (25,161 ) — Other intangible assets $ 745,856 $ (223,598 ) $ 715,167 $ (186,845 ) The Company entered into Component Repair Programs ("CRPs") with General Electric ("GE") during the fourth quarter of 2013 ("CRP 1"), the second quarter of 2014 ("CRP 2") and the fourth quarter of 2015 ("CRP 3"). The CRPs provide for, among other items, the right to sell certain aftermarket component repair services for CFM56, CF6, CF34 and LM engines directly to other customers as one of a few GE licensed suppliers. In addition, the CRPs extend certain existing contracts under which the Company currently provides these services directly to GE. The Company agreed to pay $26,639 as consideration for the rights related to CRP 1. Of this balance, the Company paid $16,639 in the fourth quarter of 2013, $9,100 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $900 in the first quarter of 2016. The Company agreed to pay $80,000 as consideration for the rights related to CRP 2. The Company paid $41,000 in the second quarter of 2014, $20,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $19,000 in the second quarter of 2015. The Company agreed to pay $5,200 as consideration for the rights related to CRP 3. The Company paid $2,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015 and $3,200 in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company recorded the CRP consideration as an intangible asset which is recognized as a reduction of sales over the remaining useful life of these engine programs. In connection with the acquisition of FOBOHA in August 2016, the Company recorded intangible assets of $39,800 , which includes $20,700 of customer relationships, $14,700 of patents and technology and $4,400 of an indefinite life trade name. The weighted-average useful lives of the acquired assets were 16 years and 7 years, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $36,753 , $38,502 and $37,125 , respectively. Estimated amortization of intangible assets for future periods is as follows: 2017 - $39,000 ; 2018 - $40,000 ; 2019 - $39,000 ; 2020 - $36,000 and 2021 - $36,000 . The Company has entered into a number of aftermarket RSP agreements each of which is with GE. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of these Revenue Sharing Programs.

Among other things, interest rate fluctuations impact the market value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt. In September 2013, the Company entered into a second amendment to its fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") and retained Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent for the lenders. The $750,000 Amended Credit Agreement matures in September 2018 . The Amended Credit Agreement adds a new foreign subsidiary borrower in Germany, Barnes Group Acquisition GmbH, and includes an accordion feature to increase the borrowing availability of the Company to $1,000,000 . The Company may exercise the accordion feature upon request to the Administrative Agent as long as an event of default has not occurred or is continuing. The borrowing availability of $750,000 , pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, allows for Euro-denominated borrowings equivalent to $500,000 . Borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.70% depending on the Company's leverage ratio at prior quarter end. The Company paid fees and expenses of $1,261 in conjunction with executing the second amendment in 2013. Such fees were deferred and are being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Agreement. Borrowings and availability under the Amended Credit Agreement were $ 363,300 and $ 386,700 , respectively, at December 31, 2016 and $379,700 and $370,300 , respectively, at December 31, 2015 . The average interest rate on these borrowings was 1.86% and 1.50% on December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The fair value of the borrowings is based on observable Level 2 inputs. The borrowings were valued using discounted cash flows based upon the Company's estimated interest costs for similar types of borrowings. In 2016, the Company borrowed $100,000 under the Amended Credit Facility through an international subsidiary. The proceeds were distributed to the Parent Company and subsequently used to pay down U.S. borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement. On October 15, 2014 , the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (“Note Purchase Agreement”), among the Company and New York Life Insurance Company, New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation and New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation Institutionally Owned Life Insurance Separate Account, as purchasers, for the issuance of $100,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.97% Senior Notes due October 17, 2024 (the “ 3.97% Senior Notes”). The Company completed funding of the transaction and issued the 3.97% Notes on October 17, 2014 . The Company also entered into a third amendment to its fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement during October 2014, which allowed for the issuance of the Note Purchase Agreement. The 3.97% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will pay interest semi-annually on April 17 and October 17 of each year at an annual rate of 3.97% . The 3.97% Senior Notes will mature on October 17, 2024 unless earlier prepaid in accordance with their terms. Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, prepay all or any part of the 3.97% Senior Notes in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.97% Senior Notes so prepaid, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount, as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement, with respect to such principal amount being prepaid. The fair value of the 3.97% Senior Notes was determined using the US Treasury yield and a long-term credit spread for similar types of borrowings, that represent Level 2 observable inputs. The Company's borrowing capacity remains limited by various debt covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement (the "Agreements"). The Agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations on indebtedness, liens, investments, restricted payments, dispositions and business activities. The Agreements require the Company to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Senior Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined, of not more than 3.25 times at the end of each fiscal quarter, provided that such ratio may increase to 3.50 times following the consummation of certain acquisitions. In addition, the Agreements require the Company to maintain (i) a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA of not more than 4.00 times at the end of each fiscal quarter, provided that such ratio may increase to 4.25 times following the consummation of certain acquisitions and (ii) a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, as defined, of not less than 4.25 times at the end of each fiscal quarter. At December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Agreements and continues to monitor its future compliance based on current and future economic conditions. In February 2017, the Company entered into the fourth amendment of its fifth amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “the Fourth Amendment”) and retained Bank of America, N.A as the Administrative Agent for the lenders. The Fourth Amendment increases the facility to $850,000 and extends the maturity date to February 2022. The Fourth Amendment also increases the existing accordion feature, allowing the Company to request additional borrowings of up to $350,000 . The Company may exercise the accordion feature upon request to the Administrative Agent as long as an event of default has not occurred or is not continuing. The borrowing availability of $850,000 , pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment, allow for multi- currency borrowing which includes euro, sterling or Swiss franc borrowing, up to $600,000 . Depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, and at the election of the Company, borrowings under the Fourth Amendment will bear interest at either LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.10% and 1.70% or the base rate plus a margin of 0.10% to 0 .70% . The Fourth Amendment generally requires the Company to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Senior Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA of not more than 3.25 times, a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt, as defined, to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined, of not more than 3.75 times, and a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense, as defined, of not less than 4.25 times, in each case at the end of each fiscal quarter; provided that these debt to EBITDA ratios are permitted to increase for a period of four fiscal quarters after the closing of certain permitted acquisitions. In addition, the Company has approximately $55,000 in uncommitted short-term bank credit lines ("Credit Lines") and overdraft facilities. Under the Credit Lines, $30,700 was borrowed at December 31, 2016 at an average interest rate of 1.96% and $22,500 was borrowed at December 31, 2015 at an average interest rate of 1.56% . The Company had also borrowed $125 and $180 under the overdraft facilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Repayments under the Credit Lines are due within one month after being borrowed. Repayments of the overdrafts are generally due within two days after being borrowed. The carrying amounts of the Credit Lines and overdrafts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The Company has capital leases at the Thermoplay and Männer businesses. The fair value of the capital leases are based on observable Level 2 inputs. These instruments are valued using discounted cash flows based upon the Company's estimated interest costs for similar types of borrowings. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company also had other foreign bank borrowings of $1,416 and $421 , respectively. The fair value of the foreign bank borrowings was based on observable Level 2 inputs. These instruments were valued using discounted cash flows based upon the Company's estimated interest costs for similar types of borrowings. Long-term debt and notes payable as of December 31, 2016 are payable, based on the then current Agreement, as follows: $32,892 in 2017 , $364,467 in 2018 , $838 in 2019 , $445 in 2020 , $528 in 2021 and $101,784 thereafter. The 3.97% Senior Notes are due in 2024 according to their maturity date. Based on the execution of the Fourth Amendment, $363,300 of the $364,467 due in 2018 will require payment in 2022, consistent with the extension of the maturity date of this Amendment. In addition, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $7,320 at December 31, 2016 . Interest paid was $11,471 , $10,550 and $10,471 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Interest capitalized was $324 , $422 and $359 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and is being depreciated over the lives of the related fixed assets. During the second quarter of 2014, the 3.375% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes ("Notes") were eligible for conversion due to meeting the conversion price eligibility requirement and on March 20, 2014, the Company formally notified the note holders that they were entitled to convert the Notes. On June 16, 2014, $224 (par value) of the Notes were surrendered for conversion. On June 24, 2014, the Company exercised its right to redeem the remaining $55,412 principal amount of the Notes, effective July 31, 2014. Of the total $55,412 principal amount, $7 of these Notes were redeemed with accrued interest through the redemption date. The remaining $55,405 of these Notes were surrendered for conversion. The Company elected to pay cash to holders of the Notes surrendered for conversion, including the value of any residual shares of common stock that were payable to the holders electing to convert their notes into an equivalent share value, resulting in a total cash payment of $70,497 including a premium on conversion of $14,868 (reducing the equity component by $9,326 , net of tax of $5,542 ). As a result of this transaction, the Company recaptured $23,565 of previously deducted contingent convertible debt interest which resulted in an $8,784 reduction in short-term deferred tax liabilities and a corresponding increase in current taxes payable included within accrued liabilities. The Company used borrowings under its Amended Credit Facility to finance the conversion of the Notes. The fair value of the Notes was previously determined using quoted market prices that represent Level 2 observable inputs. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 there were no balances reflected on the balance sheet related to the Company's convertible notes. The following table sets forth the components of interest expense for the Notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Notes was 8.00% (life of the Notes). 2014 Interest expense – 3.375% coupon $ 1,046 Interest expense – 3.375% debt discount amortization 731 $ 1,777

Business Reorganization	Business Reorganization In 2014, the Company authorized the closure of production operations ("Saline operations") at its Associated Spring facility located in Saline, Michigan (the "Closure"). The Saline operations, which included approximately 50 employees, primarily manufactured certain automotive engine valve springs, a highly commoditized product. Based on changing market dynamics and increased customer demands for commodity pricing, several customers advised the Company of their intent to transition these specific springs to other suppliers, which led to the decision of the Closure. The Company recorded restructuring and related costs of $6,020 during 2014. This included $2,182 of employee termination costs, primarily employee severance expense and defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan (the "Plans") costs related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses and special termination benefits, and $3,838 of other facility costs, primarily related to asset write-downs and depreciation on assets utilized through the Closure. See Note 11 for costs associated with the Plans that were impacted by the Closure. The Closure was completed as of December 31, 2014. Closure costs were recorded primarily within Cost of Sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and are reflected in the results of the Industrial segment.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives The Company has manufacturing and sales facilities around the world and thus makes investments and conducts business transactions denominated in various currencies. The Company is also exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and commodity price changes. These financial exposures are monitored and managed by the Company as an integral part of its risk management program. Financial instruments have been used by the Company to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. In 2012, the Company entered into five -year interest rate swap agreements transacted with three banks which together convert the interest on the first $100,000 of the Company's one-month LIBOR -based borrowings from a variable rate plus the borrowing spread to a fixed rate of 1.03% plus the borrowing spread. These interest rate swap agreements were accounted for as cash flow hedges and remained in place at December 31, 2016. The Company uses financial instruments to hedge its exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has various contracts outstanding which primarily hedge recognized assets or liabilities and anticipated transactions in various currencies including the Euro, British pound sterling, U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi, Singapore dollar, Korean won, Swedish kroner, Mexican peso and Swiss franc. Certain foreign currency derivative instruments are treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions. All foreign exchange contracts are due within two years . The Company does not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes or to manage commodity exposures. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are recorded directly to earnings or accumulated other non-owner changes to equity, depending on the designation. Amounts recorded to accumulated other non-owner changes to equity are reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the earnings impact of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion, or amounts related to contracts that are not designated as hedges, are recorded directly to earnings. The Company's policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item. Other financing cash flows during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, as presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows, include $5,221 and $10,309 , respectively, of net cash proceeds from the settlement of foreign currency hedges related to intercompany financing.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The provisions of the accounting standard for fair value define fair value 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. This standard classifies 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 table provides the assets and liabilities reported at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 : Fair Value Measurements Using Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2016 Asset derivatives $ 397 $ — $ 397 $ — Liability derivatives (1,754 ) — (1,754 ) — Bank acceptances 9,690 — 9,690 — Rabbi trust assets 2,216 2,216 — — $ 10,549 $ 2,216 $ 8,333 $ — December 31, 2015 Asset derivatives $ 699 $ — $ 699 $ — Liability derivatives (458 ) — (458 ) — Bank acceptances 10,823 — 10,823 — Rabbi trust assets 2,159 2,159 — — $ 13,223 $ 2,159 $ 11,064 $ — The derivative contracts are valued using observable current market information as of the reporting date such as the prevailing LIBOR-based interest rates and foreign currency spot and forward rates. Bank acceptances represent financial instruments accepted from certain Chinese customers in lieu of cash paid on receivables, generally range from 3 to 6 months in maturity and are guaranteed by banks. The carrying amounts of the bank acceptances, which are included within other current assets, approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair values of rabbi trust assets are based on quoted market prices from various financial exchanges.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits The accounting standards related to employers’ accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans requires the Company to recognize the funded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans as assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and to recognize changes in the funded status of the plans in comprehensive income. The Company has various defined contribution plans, the largest of which is its Retirement Savings Plan. Most U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees are eligible to participate in this plan. See Note 16 for further discussion of the Retirement Savings Plan. The Company also maintains various other defined contribution plans which cover certain other employees. Company contributions under these plans are based primarily on the performance of the business units and employee compensation. Contribution expense under these other defined contribution plans was $5,907 , $5,347 and $5,213 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. cover a majority of the Company’s U.S. employees at the Associated Spring and Nitrogen Gas Products businesses of Industrial, the Company’s Corporate Office and certain former U.S. employees, including retirees. Plan benefits for salaried and non-union hourly employees are based on years of service and average salary. Plans covering union hourly employees provide benefits based on years of service. In 2012, the Company closed the U.S. salaried defined benefit pension plan (the "U.S. Salaried Plan") to employees hired on or after January 1, 2013, with no impact to the benefits of existing participants. Effective January 1, 2013, the Retirement Savings Plan was amended to provide certain salaried employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 with an additional annual retirement contribution of 4% of eligible earnings, in place of pensionable benefits under the closed U.S. Salaried Plan. The Company funds U.S. pension costs in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans cover certain employees of certain international locations in Europe and Canada. The Company provides other medical, dental and life insurance postretirement benefits for certain of its retired employees in the U.S. and Canada. It is the Company’s practice to fund these benefits as incurred. The accompanying balance sheets reflect the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Reconciliations of the obligations and funded status of the plans follow: 2016 2015 U.S. Non-U.S. Total U.S. Non-U.S. Total Benefit obligation, January 1 $ 385,629 $ 75,406 $ 461,035 $ 433,079 $ 80,305 $ 513,384 Service cost 3,892 1,503 5,395 4,160 1,348 5,508 Interest cost 17,523 1,971 19,494 17,967 2,052 20,019 Amendments 2,405 (174 ) 2,231 — (463 ) (463 ) Actuarial loss (gain) 6,661 10,814 17,475 (16,622 ) (2,288 ) (18,910 ) Benefits paid (26,497 ) (4,691 ) (31,188 ) (52,490 ) (4,244 ) (56,734 ) Transfers in — 25,968 25,968 — 3,951 3,951 Plan curtailments — — — (465 ) — (465 ) Plan settlements — — — — (375 ) (375 ) Participant contributions — 1,444 1,444 — 368 368 Foreign exchange rate changes — (7,902 ) (7,902 ) — (5,248 ) (5,248 ) Benefit obligation, December 31 389,613 104,339 493,952 385,629 75,406 461,035 Fair value of plan assets, January 1 326,829 68,553 395,382 380,937 71,750 452,687 Actual return on plan assets 13,051 7,276 20,327 (5,045 ) 1,264 (3,781 ) Company contributions 17,877 2,224 20,101 3,427 1,100 4,527 Participant contributions — 1,444 1,444 — 368 368 Benefits paid (26,497 ) (4,691 ) (31,188 ) (52,490 ) (4,244 ) (56,734 ) Plan settlements — — — — (376 ) (376 ) Transfers in — 18,320 18,320 — 3,434 3,434 Foreign exchange rate changes — (7,474 ) (7,474 ) — (4,743 ) (4,743 ) Fair value of plan assets, December 31 331,260 85,652 416,912 326,829 68,553 395,382 Underfunded status, December 31 $ (58,353 ) $ (18,687 ) $ (77,040 ) $ (58,800 ) $ (6,853 ) $ (65,653 ) In September 2015, the Company announced a limited-time program offering (the "Program") to certain eligible, vested, terminated participants ("eligible participants") for a voluntary lump-sum pension payout or reduced annuity option (the "payout") that, if accepted, would settle the Company's pension obligation to them. The Program provided the eligible participants with a limited time opportunity of electing to receive a lump-sum settlement of their remaining pension benefit, or reduced annuity. The scheduled payments of $27,986 were made in December 2015, and are included within the "Benefits Paid" of $52,490 above. The payouts were funded by the assets of the Company's pension plan and therefore the Program did not require significant cash outflows by the Company. The resultant pre-tax settlement charge of $9,856 represents accelerated amortization of actuarial losses and was reflected within costs of sales and selling and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Target allocations for asset categories are used to earn a reasonable rate of return, provide required liquidity and minimize the risk of large losses. Targets may be adjusted, as necessary, to reflect trends and developments within the overall investment environment. The weighted-average target investment allocations by asset category were as follows during 2016: 65% in equity securities, 30% in fixed income securities and 5% in other investments, including cash. The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , by asset category are as follows: Fair Value Measurements Using Asset Category Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) December 31, 2016 Cash and short-term investments $ 3,207 $ 3,207 $ — $ — Equity securities: U.S. large-cap 39,162 — 39,162 — U.S. mid-cap 12,724 12,724 — — U.S. small-cap 19,551 19,551 — — International equities 135,514 — 135,514 — Global equity 47,445 47,445 — — Fixed income securities: U.S. bond funds 103,399 — 103,399 — International bonds 53,783 — 53,783 — Other 2,127 — — 2,127 $ 416,912 $ 82,927 $ 331,858 $ 2,127 December 31, 2015 Cash and short-term investments 18,795 18,795 — — Equity securities: U.S. large-cap 67,274 28,190 39,084 — U.S. mid-cap 38,790 38,790 — — U.S. small-cap 38,248 38,248 — — International equities 91,563 — 91,563 — Global equity 17,928 17,928 Fixed income securities: U.S. bond funds 84,645 — 84,645 — International bonds 36,282 — 36,282 — Other 1,857 — — 1,857 $ 395,382 $ 141,951 $ 251,574 $ 1,857 The fair values of the Level 1 assets are based on quoted market prices from various financial exchanges. The fair values of the Level 2 assets are based primarily on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. The Level 2 assets are comprised primarily of commingled funds and fixed income securities. Commingled equity funds are valued at their net asset values based on quoted market prices of the underlying assets. Fixed income securities are valued using a market approach which considers observable market data for the underlying asset or securities. The Level 3 assets relate to the defined benefit pension plan at the Synventive business. These pension assets are fully insured and have been estimated based on accrued pension rights and actuarial rates. These pension assets are limited to fulfilling the Company's pension obligations. The Company expects to contribute approximately $4,935 to the pension plans in 2017 . The following are the estimated future net benefit payments, which include future service, over the next 10 years: Pensions Other Postretirement Benefits 2017 $ 28,703 $ 3,983 2018 28,577 3,352 2019 28,878 3,176 2020 28,810 3,294 2021 28,994 3,095 Years 2022-2026 144,566 12,906 Total $ 288,528 $ 29,806 Pension and other postretirement benefit expenses consist of the following: Pensions Other Postretirement Benefits 2016 2015 2014 2016 2015 2014 Service cost $ 5,395 $ 5,508 $ 4,546 $ 122 $ 145 $ 139 Interest cost 19,494 20,019 22,026 1,766 1,836 2,179 Expected return on plan assets (30,302 ) (32,404 ) (34,232 ) — — — Amortization of prior service cost (credit) 210 305 648 (373 ) (564 ) (871 ) Recognized losses 10,791 15,004 8,617 535 1,011 1,017 Curtailment loss (gain) — — 219 — — 4 Settlement loss — 9,939 871 — — — Special termination benefits — — 715 — — — Net periodic benefit cost $ 5,588 $ 18,371 $ 3,410 $ 2,050 $ 2,428 $ 2,468 The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other non-owner changes to equity into net periodic benefit cost in 2017 are $9,997 and $441 , respectively. The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service credit for other defined benefit postretirement plans that will be amortized from accumulated other non-owner changes to equity into net periodic benefit cost in 2017 are $276 and $(68) , respectively. Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net benefit expense for years ended December 31, are: 2016 2015 2014 U.S. plans: Discount rate 4.65 % 4.25 % 5.20 % Long-term rate of return 8.25 % 8.25 % 9.00 % Increase in compensation 3.71 % 3.71 % 3.72 % Non-U.S. plans: Discount rate 2.80 % 2.74 % 3.93 % Long-term rate of return 4.73 % 5.00 % 5.07 % Increase in compensation 2.71 % 2.72 % 2.76 % The expected long-term rate of return is based on projected rates of return and the historical rates of return of published indices that are used to measure the plans’ target asset allocation. The historical rates are then discounted to consider fluctuations in the historical rates as well as potential changes in the investment environment. The Company’s accumulated postretirement benefit obligations, exclusive of pensions, take into account certain cost-sharing provisions. The annual rate of increase in the cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) is assumed to be 6.44% and 6.65% at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, decreasing gradually to a rate of 4.50% by December 31, 2029 . A one percentage point change in the assumed health care cost trend rate would have the following effects: One Percentage Point Increase One Percentage Point Decrease Effect on postretirement benefit obligation $ 319 $ (295 ) Effect on postretirement benefit cost 14 (13 ) The Company actively contributes to a Swedish pension plan that supplements the Swedish social insurance system. The pension plan guarantees employees a pension based on a percentage of their salary and represents a multi-employer pension plan, however the pension plan was not significant in any year presented. This pension plan is not underfunded. Contributions related to the individually insignificant multi-employer plans, as disclosure is required pursuant to the applicable accounting standards, are as follows: Contributions by the Company Pension Fund: 2016 2015 2014 Swedish Pension Plan (ITP2) 673 $ 343 $ 379 Total Contributions $ 673 $ 343 $ 379

Stock-based Compensation

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, by measuring the payments at fair value on the grant date and recognizing the cost in the results of operations. The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on certain assumptions. The fair values of service and performance based stock awards are estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The fair value of market based performance share awards are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Estimated forfeiture rates are applied to outstanding awards. Refer to Note 16 for a description of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and their general terms. As of December 31, 2016 , incentives have been awarded in the form of performance share awards and restricted stock unit awards (collectively, “Rights”) and stock options. The Company has elected to use the straight-line method to recognize compensation costs. Stock options and awards typically vest over a period ranging from six months to five years . The maximum term of stock option awards is 10 years. Upon exercise of a stock option or upon vesting of Rights, shares may be issued from treasury shares held by the Company or from authorized shares. In March 2016, the FASB amended its guidance related to the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The amended guidance requires that all tax effects related to share-based payments are recorded at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement, rather than through equity. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity apart from other income tax cash flows. The amended guidance also allows for an employer to repurchase additional employee shares for tax withholding purposes without requiring liability accounting and clarifies that all cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The guidance also allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than accounting for them on an estimated basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance in the third quarter of 2016. This adoption requires the Company to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The most significant impact of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes rather than through equity for all periods in fiscal year 2016. This resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes of $2,229 for the year ended December 31, 2016. In 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $2,667 and $4,888 , respectively, of excess tax benefits for current year tax deductions in additional paid-in capital, as was required pursuant to the earlier accounting guidance. In connection with the additional amendments within the amended guidance, the Company recognized state tax loss carryforwards in the amount of $198 , which impacted retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. The cumulative effect of this change is required to be recorded in retained earnings. The Company elected to continue to estimate forfeitures expected to occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. The presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid for withheld shares were applied retrospectively to all periods presented. This resulted in an increase in both net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used by financing activities of $1,402 , $2,320 , $7,519 and $7,580 for the three, six, nine and twelve month periods ended March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and $413 and $524 for the three and six month periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2016, respectively. During 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recognized $11,493 , $9,258 , and $7,603 respectively, of stock-based compensation cost and $4,284 , $3,451 , and $2,834 respectively, of related tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company has realized all available tax benefits related to deductions from excess stock awards exercised or issued in earlier periods. At December 31, 2016 , the Company had $12,519 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested awards which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.01 years. The following table summarizes information about the Company’s stock option awards during 2016 : Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Outstanding, January 1, 2016 644,072 $ 25.63 Granted 167,105 31.34 Exercised (203,517 ) 20.56 Forfeited (18,500 ) 36.22 Outstanding, December 31, 2016 589,160 28.67 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2016 : Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Number of Shares Average Remaining Life (Years) Average Exercise Price Number of Shares Average Exercise Price $11.45 to $15.83 87,690 2.58 $ 13.48 87,690 $ 13.48 $20.69 to $24.24 76,584 5.10 22.65 76,584 22.65 $26.32 to $30.71 214,312 7.49 29.27 72,312 26.43 $33.45 to $38.96 210,574 7.91 36.57 82,350 36.83 The Company received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $4,184 , $11,022 and $11,024 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The total intrinsic value (the amount by which the stock price exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date of exercise) of the stock options exercised during 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $4,464 , $8,331 and $11,178 , respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was $7.01 , $8.86 and $12.14 , respectively. The fair value of each stock option grant on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions: 2016 2015 2014 Risk-free interest rate 1.20 % 1.58 % 1.68 % Expected life (years) 5.3 5.3 5.3 Expected volatility 29.1 % 31.1 % 42.6 % Expected dividend yield 1.94 % 2.06 % 2.24 % The risk-free interest rate is based on the term structure of interest rates at the time of the option grant. The expected life represents an estimate of the period of time that options are expected to remain outstanding. Assumptions of expected volatility of the Company’s common stock and expected dividend yield are estimates of future volatility and dividend yields based on historical trends. The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding that are expected to vest and stock options outstanding that are exercisable at December 31, 2016 : Options Outstanding, Expected to Vest Options Outstanding, Exercisable Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted- Average Remaining Term (Years) Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted- Average Remaining Term (Years) 568,820 $ 28.67 $ 10,667 6.60 318,936 $ 24.65 $ 7,263 4.85 The following table summarizes information about the Company’s Rights during 2016 : Service Based Rights Service and Performance Based Rights Service and Market Based Rights Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Number of Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding, January 1, 2016 401,706 $ 30.51 214,426 $ 31.29 107,213 $ 48.37 Granted 154,903 32.22 62,070 31.32 62,069 48.84 Forfeited (16,138 ) 34.23 (6,333 ) 37.61 (3,476 ) 31.46 Additional Earned — — 35,653 24.55 29,937 24.18 Issued (193,167 ) 34.53 (133,774 ) 24.55 (78,997 ) 24.18 Outstanding, December 31, 2016 347,304 172,042 116,746 The Company granted 154,903 restricted stock unit awards and 124,139 performance share awards in 2016 . All of the restricted stock unit awards vest upon meeting certain service conditions. "Additional Earned" reflects performance share awards earned above target that have been issued. The performance share awards are part of the long-term Performance Share Award Program (the "Awards Program"), which is designed to assess the long-term Company performance relative to the performance of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index or to pre-established goals. The performance goals are independent of each other and based on three equally weighted metrics through 2015 and two equally weighted metrics in 2016. Prior to 2015, the metrics included the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR"), basic or diluted earnings per share growth ("EPS Growth") and operating income before depreciation and amortization growth. For awards granted in 2015, the metrics included TSR, operating income before depreciation and amortization growth and return on invested capital ("ROIC"). For awards granted in 2016, the metrics included only TSR and ROIC. The TSR, operating income before depreciation and amortization growth, and EPS Growth metrics are designed to assess the long-term Company performance relative to the performance of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index over a three year period. ROIC is designed to assess the Company’s performance compared to pre-established goals over a three year performance period. The participants can earn from zero to 250% of the target award and the award includes a forfeitable right to dividend equivalents, which are not included in the aggregate target award numbers. Compensation expense for the awards is recognized over the three year service period based upon the value determined under the intrinsic value method for the basic or diluted earnings per share growth, operating income before depreciation and amortization growth and ROIC portions of the award and the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the TSR portion of the award since it contains a market condition. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the weighted-average fair values of the market based portion of the 2016 awards include a 0.83% risk-free interest rate and a 22.9% expected volatility rate. Compensation expense for the TSR portion of the awards is fixed at the date of grant and will not be adjusted in future periods based upon the achievement of the TSR performance goal. Compensation expense for the basic or diluted earnings per share growth or the return on invested capital, and the operating income before depreciation and amortization growth portions of the awards is recorded each period based upon a probability assessment of achieving the goals with a final adjustment at the end of the service period based upon the actual achievement of those performance goals.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The components of Income from continuing operations before income taxes and Income taxes follow: 2016 2015 2014 Income from continuing operations before income taxes: U.S. $ 34,129 $ 11,525 $ 33,070 International 148,492 146,421 133,430 Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 182,621 $ 157,946 $ 166,500 Income tax provision: Current: U.S. – federal $ 7,215 $ (210 ) $ 22,673 U.S. – state 755 2,019 1,236 International 41,516 32,217 35,954 49,486 34,026 59,863 Deferred: U.S. – federal $ 6,091 $ 7,670 $ (6,737 ) U.S. – state 1,060 (1,137 ) 1,279 International (9,617 ) (3,993 ) (8,446 ) (2,466 ) 2,540 (13,904 ) Income taxes $ 47,020 $ 36,566 $ 45,959 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31 consist of the tax effects of temporary differences related to the following: 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets: Pension $ 27,410 $ 25,331 Tax loss carryforwards 16,686 15,330 Inventory valuation 15,518 15,938 Other postretirement/postemployment costs 14,071 15,753 Accrued Compensation 10,121 10,242 Other 6,489 5,880 Valuation allowance (14,957 ) (14,401 ) Total deferred tax assets 75,338 74,073 Deferred tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization (89,198 ) (81,158 ) Goodwill (14,871 ) (14,545 ) Other (12,282 ) (16,313 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (116,351 ) (112,016 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (41,013 ) $ (37,943 ) In the first quarter of 2016, the Company prospectively adopted the amended guidance related to the balance sheet classification of deferred income taxes. The amended guidance removed the requirement to separate and classify deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts and required an entity to now classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as non-current. The provisions of the amended guidance were adopted on a prospective basis during the first quarter of 2016. Amounts related to deferred taxes in the balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are presented as follows: 2016 2015 Current deferred tax assets $ — $ 24,825 Non-current deferred tax assets 25,433 1,139 Current deferred tax liabilities (included in accrued liabilities) — (1,543 ) Non-current deferred tax liabilities (66,446 ) (62,364 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (41,013 ) $ (37,943 ) The standards related to accounting for income taxes require that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Available evidence includes the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years and tax planning strategies. Management believes that sufficient taxable income should be earned in the future to realize the net deferred tax assets principally in the United States. The realization of these assets is dependent in part on the amount and timing of future taxable income in the jurisdictions where deferred tax assets reside. The Company has tax loss carryforwards of $68,752 ; $2,757 which relates to U.S tax loss carryforwards which have carryforward periods up to 18 years for federal purposes and ranging from one to 20 years for state purposes; $55,882 of which relates to international tax loss carryforwards with carryforward periods ranging from one to 20 years; and $10,113 of which relates to international tax loss carryforwards with unlimited carryforward periods. In addition, the Company has tax credit carryforwards of $154 with remaining carryforward periods ranging from one year to 5 years. As the ultimate realization of the remaining net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if such future taxable income is not earned and it becomes necessary to recognize a valuation allowance, it could result in a material increase in the Company’s tax expense which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not recognized a deferred income liability for U.S. taxes on $1,081,352 of undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries, since such earnings are considered to be reinvested indefinitely as defined per the indefinite reversal criterion within the accounting guidance for income taxes. If the earnings were distributed in the form of dividends, the Company would be subject, in certain cases, to both U.S. income taxes and foreign income and withholding taxes. Determination of the amount of this unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not practicable. During 2016, the Company repatriated a dividend from a portion of current year foreign earnings to the U.S. in the amount of $8,328 . As a result of the dividend, tax expense increased by $2,890 and the 2016 annual consolidated effective income tax rate increased by 1.6 percentage points. A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the consolidated effective income tax rate from continuing operations follows: 2016 2015 2014 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State taxes (net of federal benefit) 0.4 0.2 0.5 Foreign losses without tax benefit 0.7 1.1 1.1 Foreign operations taxed at lower rates (10.9 ) (12.9 ) (9.9 ) Repatriation from current year foreign earnings 1.6 4.3 2.6 Tax withholding refund — (1.9 ) — Tax Holidays (1.2 ) (3.2 ) (2.7 ) Stock awards excess tax benefit (1.2 ) — — Other 1.3 0.6 1.0 Consolidated effective income tax rate 25.7 % 23.2 % 27.6 % The Aerospace and Industrial Segments were previously awarded a number of multi-year tax holidays in both Singapore and China. Tax benefits of $2,245 ( $0.04 per diluted share), $5,000 ( $0.09 per diluted share) and $4,513 ( $0.08 per diluted share) were realized in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. These holidays are subject to the Company meeting certain commitments in the respective jurisdictions. The significant tax holidays are due to expire in 2017. Income taxes paid globally, net of refunds, were $40,842 , $31,895 and $33,146 in 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. As of December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the consolidated balance sheet was $13,320 , $10,634 and $8,560 , respectively, which, if recognized, would have reduced the effective tax rate in prior years, with the exception of amounts related to acquisitions. A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits for 2016 , 2015 and 2014 follows: 2016 2015 2014 Balance at January 1 $ 10,634 $ 8,560 $ 8,027 Increase (decrease) in unrecognized tax benefits due to: Tax positions taken during prior periods — 1,691 533 Tax positions taken during the current period 117 — — Acquisition 2,569 598 — Lapse of the applicable statute of limitations — (215 ) — Balance at December 31 $ 13,320 $ 10,634 $ 8,560 The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company recognized interest and penalties as a component of income taxes of $(337) , $616 , and $0 in the years 2016, 2015, and 2014 respectively. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits include gross accrued interest and penalties of $1,838 , $1,923 and $1,031 at December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by various taxing authorities, including the IRS in the U.S. and the taxing authorities in other major jurisdictions including China, Germany, Singapore, Sweden and Switzerland. With a few exceptions, tax years remaining open to examination in significant foreign jurisdictions include tax years 2010 and forward and for the U.S. include tax years 2014 and forward. The Company is under audit in Germany for tax years 2010 to 2014 and is also under audit in several U.S. states for the period 2011 through 2013.

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding [Abstract]
Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	Weighted Average Shares Outstanding Income from continuing operations and net income per common share is computed in accordance with accounting standards related to earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and, as such, should be included in the calculation of basic earnings per share. The Company’s restricted stock unit awards which contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed exercise and conversion of all dilutive securities. Shares held by the Retirement Savings Plan are considered outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share. There are no significant adjustments to income from continuing operations and net income for purposes of computing income available to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . A reconciliation of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows: Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding 2016 2015 2014 Basic 54,191,013 55,028,063 54,791,030 Dilutive effect of: Stock options 166,986 206,778 355,595 Performance share awards 273,314 278,378 319,704 Convertible senior subordinated debt — — 245,230 Non-Employee Director Deferred Stock Plan — — 11,708 Diluted 54,631,313 55,513,219 55,723,267 The calculation of weighted-average diluted shares outstanding excludes all anti-dilutive shares. During 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company excluded 262,336 , 214,032 and 89,924 stock awards, respectively, from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as the stock awards were considered anti-dilutive. On June 16, 2014, $224 (par value) of the 3.375% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due in March 2027 (the "3.375% Convertible Notes") were surrendered for conversion. On June 24, 2014, the Company exercised its right to redeem the remaining $55,412 principal amount of the Notes, effective July 31, 2014, and elected to pay cash to holders of the Notes surrendered for conversion, including the value of any residual shares of common stock that were payable to the holders electing to convert their notes into an equivalent share value. Accordingly, the potential shares issuable for the 3.375% Convertible Notes were included in diluted average common shares outstanding for the period prior to the June 24, 2014 notification date. Under the net share settlement method, there were 245,230 potential shares issuable under the Notes that were considered dilutive in 2014, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Accounting Changes	Accounting Changes In March 2016, the FASB amended its guidance related to the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The amended guidance requires that all tax effects related to share-based payments are recorded at settlement (or expiration) through the income statement, rather than through equity. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity apart from other income tax cash flows. The amended guidance also allows for an employer to repurchase additional employee shares for tax withholding purposes without requiring liability accounting and clarifies that all cash payments made to tax authorities on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company elected to early adopt in the third quarter of 2016. See Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details related to the Company's adoption of this amended guidance. In November 2015, the FASB amended its guidance related to the balance sheet classification of deferred income taxes. The amended guidance removes the requirement to separate and classify deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts and requires an entity to now classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as non-current. The amended guidance can be adopted either on a prospective or retrospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The provisions of the amended guidance were adopted on a prospective basis during the first quarter of 2016. The provisions resulted in the classification of $26,639 and $1,290 of current deferred income tax assets and liabilities, respectively, into non-current deferred income tax assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. In April 2015, the FASB amended its guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amended guidance specifies that debt issuance costs related to notes shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of that note and that amortization of debt issuance costs shall be reported as interest expense. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the guidance during the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Summary of Significant Accoun32

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
General	General: The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts.
Consolidation	Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition : Sales and related cost of sales are recognized when products are shipped or delivered to customers depending upon when title and risk of loss have passed. Service revenue is recognized when the related services are performed. In the aerospace manufacturing businesses, the Company recognizes revenue based on the units-of-delivery method in accordance with accounting standards related to accounting for performance of construction-type and certain production-type contracts. Management fees related to the aerospace aftermarket Revenue Sharing Programs ("RSPs") are satisfied through an agreed upon reduction from the sales price of each of the related spare parts. These fees recognize our customer's necessary performance of engine program support activities, such as spare parts administration, warehousing and inventory management, and customer support, and are not separable from our sale of products, and accordingly, they are reflected as a reduction to sales, rather than as costs incurred, when revenues are recognized.
Operating expenses	Operating expenses: The Company includes manufacturing labor, material, manufacturing overhead and costs of its distribution network within cost of sales. Other costs, including selling personnel costs and commissions, and other general and administrative costs of the Company are included within selling and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense is allocated between cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents: Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, highly liquid, income-producing investments. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Inventories	Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Loss provisions, if any, on aerospace contracts are established when estimable. Loss provisions are based on the projected excess of manufacturing costs over the net revenues of the products or group of related products under contract or purchase order.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded over estimated useful lives, generally ranging from 20 to 50 years for buildings, three to five years for computer equipment and four to 12 years for machinery and equipment. The straight-line method of depreciation was adopted for all property, plant and equipment placed in service after March 31, 1999. For property, plant and equipment placed into service prior to April 1, 1999, depreciation is calculated using accelerated methods. The Company assesses the impairment of property, plant and equipment subject to depreciation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Goodwill	Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess purchase cost over the fair value of net assets of companies acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is considered an indefinite-lived asset. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards governing such on an annual basis, in the second quarter, or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit has been reduced below its carrying value. Based on the assessments performed during 2016, there was no goodwill impairment.
Aerospace Aftermarket Programs	Aerospace Aftermarket Programs: The Company participates in aftermarket RSPs under which the Company receives an exclusive right to supply designated aftermarket parts over the life of the related aircraft engine program. As consideration, the Company has paid participation fees, which are recorded as long-lived intangible assets. The Company records amortization of the related intangible asset as sales dollars are being earned based on a proportional sales dollar method. Specifically, this method amortizes each asset as a reduction to revenue based on the proportion of sales under a program in a given period to the estimated aggregate sales dollars over the life of that program. The Company also entered into Component Repair Programs ("CRPs") that provide for, among other items, the right to sell certain aftermarket component repair services for CFM56, CF6, CF34 and LM engines directly to other customers as one of a few GE licensed suppliers. In addition, the CRPs extended certain existing contracts under which the Company currently provides these services directly to GE. The Company recorded the consideration for these rights as an intangible asset that is amortized as a reduction to sales over the remaining life of these engine programs. This method reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the RSPs and the CRPs are realized. The recoverability of each asset is subject to significant estimates about future revenues related to the program’s aftermarket parts and services. The Company evaluates these intangible assets for recoverability and updates amortization rates on an agreement by agreement basis for the RSPs and on an individual asset program basis for the CRPs. The assets are reviewed for recoverability periodically including whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Annually, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization. Management updates revenue projections, which includes comparing actual experience against projected revenue and industry projections. The potential exists that actual revenues will not meet expectations due to a change in market conditions including, for example, the replacement of older engines with new, more fuel-efficient engines or the Company's ability to maintain market share within the Aftermarket business. A shortfall in future revenues may indicate a triggering event requiring a write down or further evaluation of the recoverability of the assets or require the Company to accelerate amortization expense prospectively dependent on the level of the shortfall. The Company has not identified any impairment of these assets.
Intangible Assets	Other Intangible Assets: Other intangible assets consist primarily of the Aerospace Aftermarket Programs, as discussed above, customer relationships, tradenames, patents and proprietary technology. These intangible assets, with the exception of certain tradenames, have finite lives and are amortized over the periods in which they provide benefit. The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever significant events or significant changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Tradenames with indefinite lives are subject to impairment testing in accordance with accounting standards governing such on an annual basis, in the second quarter, or more frequently if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of the asset has been reduced below its carrying value. Based on the assessment performed during 2016, there were no impairments of other intangible assets. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivatives	Derivatives: Accounting standards related to the accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities require that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Foreign currency contracts may qualify as fair value hedges of unrecognized firm commitments, cash flow hedges of recognized assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions, or a hedge of a net investment. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges are recorded directly to earnings or accumulated other non-owner changes to equity, depending on the designation. Amounts recorded to accumulated other non-owner changes to equity are reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the earnings impact of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion, or amounts related to contracts that are not designated as hedges, are recorded directly to earnings. The Company’s policy for classifying cash flows from derivatives is to report the cash flows consistent with the underlying hedged item.
Foreign currency	Foreign currency: Assets and liabilities of international operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange; revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange. The resulting translation gains or losses are reflected in accumulated other non-owner changes to equity within stockholders’ equity. Net foreign currency transaction gains of $1,873 and $505 in 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and a loss of $1,466 in 2014 , were included in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Research and Development	Research and Development: Costs are incurred in connection with efforts aimed at discovering and implementing new knowledge that is critical to developing new products, processes or services, significantly improving existing products or services, and developing new applications for existing products and services. Research and development expenses for the creation of new and improved products and services were $12,913 , $12,688 and $15,782 , for the years 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and are included in selling and administrative expense.
Stock-Based Compensation	The Company accounts for the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, by measuring the payments at fair value on the grant date and recognizing the cost in the results of operations. The fair values of stock options are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on certain assumptions. The fair values of service and performance based stock awards are estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The fair value of market based performance share awards are estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation method. Estimated forfeiture rates are applied to outstanding awards. Refer to Note 16 for a description of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and their general terms. As of December 31, 2016 , incentives have been awarded in the form of performance share awards and restricted stock unit awards (collectively, “Rights”) and stock options. The Company has elected to use the straight-line method to recognize compensation costs. Stock options and awards typically vest over a period ranging from six months to five years . The maximum term of stock option awards is 10 years. Upon exercise of a stock option or upon vesting of Rights, shares may be issued from treasury shares held by the Company or from authorized shares.
