Movement of organelles or other particles along actin filaments, or sliding of actin filaments past each other, mediated by motor proteins. The actin filament-based process by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in contraction of all or part of the cell body. The actin filament-based movement by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in a contraction that propels the cell from one place to another. The actin filament-based movement by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in a contraction that propels the cell in the direction that has been defined as the front of the cell. Any process involved in the controlled self-propelled movement of a cell that results in translocation of the cell from one place to another.
