rubber tip

Pencil eraser cap

A rubber tip is a small protective cap made of rubber, fitted to the end of something to prevent damage, reduce noise, or improve grip.

Canes and walkers have rubber tips for traction and floor protection.

Pencils may have rubber tips for erasing.

Styluses and pointer sticks often end in rubber tips to avoid scratching surfaces: The rubber tip on my cane is wearing thin.
