Power supply with positive and negative voltages 12 and 24v where to buy ?

as title states looking for a dc psu for 12 & 24  with positive and negative voltages. just a CYA in case this spindle drive gets fussy about input voltages

Does it have to be switch mode?
You can always do that with two power supplies but leave one not grounded, ground the one with the minus side used as the 0.

i doubt this old drive cares if it's SMPS or not, got a schematic for using a standard PSU that way ? not very familiar with that method

How much current do you need on the -12? Perhaps an isolated DC-DC converte connected to the 24V main supply would work?

My mill has just one big 24V supply and then a bunch of DC-Converters for the other voltages:

To get -12V you would need to connect input negative to output positive. I don't know how much they like that, in general.
(I just checked my drawer and found that all three types I have use a common GND, so won't work)

However, ebay has lots of +/- 12V step-down converters, and you can always ignore the +12.

I'm not sure if this diagram is showing a 12v 10ma output or input, the arrow is ambiguous, so, i ordered a dc dc buck bost 12v converter that has negative and positive rails and 20w per rail.

i know the older atx psu with isa slots had the -12v for the isa bus, but those are crazy hard to find

Every PC power supply should have a -12V, it is used for audio.

many many many new PSU's do not have the -12v rail

They do, is this new enough:

It is an ATX standard, so till they move to the new 12V only standard, they will have -12V.

I'll have to recheck pc power supplies, i have a few laying around that do not have the -12v
i didn't think to search atx standard, and that may be why I'm not getting the results i was looking for, thanks for the lead, I'll chase one down

Reading this back it came to my attention i never mentioned that -12V rail on PC power supplies is very low current, usually 0.2 to 0.3A.
Sorry for the omission.

I think i still have some very old AT power supplies, the ones with a mechanical toggling switch, pretty sure they also have -12V, but i would not bet on it.
Also have anything in between till the one i linked above and some more of those monstrosities, thinking of using two of those 1200W for welding, or 10 of them for plasma cutting!
At the very least, they are much, much more efficient, but expensive.
