A vacuum nozzle includes a nozzle body and a nozzle tip joined to allow relative motion therebetween. A proximal portion of the nozzle tip is adapted to slidably engage in the axial direction a surface of the nozzle body. The proximal portion has at least one flexible arm and an interfacing element disposed thereon that can cooperatively engage with a receiving element associated with the nozzle body. By forming the vacuum nozzle in at least the two parts, the unsprung mass of the vacuum nozzle is reduced with an attendant reduction in force transferred to a component when contacted by the nozzle tip. A compliant element is positioned between the nozzle body and the nozzle tip and also contributes to reduce impact forces. A method of using a vacuum nozzle with a vacuum transfer system are also provided.
