A spinning machine includes a plurality of work stations arranged side by side between two front-side ends along at least one longitudinal side of the spinning machine. Each work station has a draw-off device, and an individual drive for the draw-off device. Each work station further includes additional driven work elements for production and winding of a yarn, the additional work elements including at least a feed device, a spinning chamber, and a winding device. A suction device generates negative pressure at the work stations and includes at least one negative pressure source and at least two negative pressure channels. Each of the negative pressure channels extends in a longitudinal direction of the spinning machine only over one part of the work stations.
