There is no limit on the number of terms a US Senator may serve. This is the same unlimited terms that a representative in the House of Representatives enjoys. There are some ideas floating around that term limits on senators and representatives should have term limits. One problem in having that law passed is that the US members of congress will not place limits on their offices. The best way is to have a constitutional amendment passed.
